I know some of you will rejoice with me! Our family has been at this school since my oldest was in JK - so 16 years this year. I believe Ontario runs school council differently than many US areas - no fees are required, anybody can attend. But we do have an Executive that runs the meetings. I've been attending meetings for at least 10 years. I was Secretary for a good 4 years, and served as Fundraising Chair for a year or two. DS is about to graduate from Grade 8 in June. Last night was our last meeting of the year - and my last meeting EVER!! I don't plan to get involved at the high school level (I didn't for my other two either), so NO MORE COUNCIL!!  |

I'm sure they appreciate the time you put in. It's so hard to get good volunteers (with longevity). On behalf of all exec PTA/PTO members everywhere, I thank you.

I'm finishing 9 years with the elementary school next month (I only have 2 kids and the youngest is "graduating."). I served as treasurer for the last 6 years. But apparently I am a glutton for punishment, because I've been on the parent council at the high school for 2 years.  But at least I will only have one meeting to attend, I think that's liberating!!! |

Such a liberating feeling. I served as treasurer at my kids elementary and middle schools for four years. It was so nice when she graduated. I said no to all volunteer assignments for about six months. But recently got involved again for her show choir. I had promised myself a year break, but it's easy to get pulled back in. :-)
