CORPORATE TEAM

We need 5 parents who want to find a new way to get involved and become a part of our Corporate team. Team members would report to Mr. Thompson who leads this area of our booster program. The role of each member would be to establish contact with national & local businesses to help generate interest in some of our events and our program. If you are interested please email Chip at TriChip@gmail.com.

THANK YOU!
