Room Parent Interest
Our staff, along with PTA/Friends of Farnsworth would like to launch a Room Parent program.
We are looking for each homeroom to have a parent representative to be the "point person" for helping to get information out to families, and help organzize any events/activities in the classroom.
If you are interested, please fill out this google form! We will be developing the program throughout the course of the year.
