Chairs of the Month - February
by your reporter on the beat
What a Heritage Festival this year, and it was nice to see all the parents at Parent Involvement Day! I caught up to Gail and Kristin, Heritage Festival co-coordinators, and Kelly and Tracy of the Hospitality Committee who provided the Parent Involvement Day breakfast. I asked them a couple of questions.

What is it that you like about Heritage Festival?
Gail: I like how much all the families come out to share something very personal about themselves. I've gotten to meet so many really wonderful families that I never would have otherwise.
Kristin: One of my favorite things about Bach is its cultural diversity, and Heritage Festival is a great way for the students (and parents!) to learn about other cultures.

What is it that you like about the Hospitality Committee?
Traci: I really enjoy meeting new parents and families.
Kelly: I always enjoy throwing a party!

Why do you like to volunteer with the PTO?
Gail: Bach's a remarkable school that has done so much for our family. I am so grateful for the extraordinary teachers and staff.
Kristin: Working with the families was fun because they were so enthusiastic, and I like the benefits to the Bach community.
Kelly: It gives a sense of being part of a community.

Our thanks to Gail, Kristin, Kelly, and Traci for two spectacular events this month!
