Chaparral Needs YOU! (Yes, YOU!)

We love all of our volunteers at Chaparral. We have an army of parents that volunteer in class, library and art, but are in need of volunteers to help turn the wheels of the big PFC machine and help Chaparral on a grander level.
Check out this video
(

) to see all the amazing things that Chaparral PFC does to enhance our school and make it an amazing place for our children.
Believe it or not we are already planning for next year. There are several positions within the PFC that we will need to fill and are asking for new parents to start to "shadow" the current chairperson for.
Please email
