VOLUNTEERS and Board Members

There is an excellent opportunity to get involved with your student’s school here at Leitch that I wanted to share with you.  The PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) at Leitch has a long history of active involvement and successful support of the school and ALL its students.  Serving on the PTA board is a great way to have a voice in how the school is served, and this involvement provides lasting, strong friendships that make the Warm Springs Community an excellent support system for you and your family for many years to come.
