Looking for a great way to help at your child’s school? We are in need of parents to volunteer in the school’s book room. Please contact Kristi Vance at vance_kristi@yahoo.com for more information. Your help is much appreciated!

VIP Training, Committee Chair Training & Room Parent Training – September, 16th 9:30am or 6:30pm in the Commons

If you plan to volunteer at Olentangy Meadows you must attend a training session before beginning volunteer work.  The VIP training session is combined with the committee chair training and the room parent training this year.  If you are unable to make one of these training sessions, please contact Kristi Vance @ vance_kristi@yahoo.com.
