Primary Roles of Class Rep
– Act as a liaison between the classroom and the Parent Council by attending four meetings scheduled throughout the year.
– Promote council events by sharing information with the class parent group
– Assist with class list creation if needed.
** Please note that communication on behalf of the teacher about academic or social matters is not part of the role**

Here’s the best part: every time you make a purchase at the participating online merchants and brands (even when brands are on sale), a portion of the purchase price is donated to Runnymede HSA!
Sponsor Circle is completely free to use and won’t cost you anything when you shop. If it finds a coupon, you keep all the savings! The stores pay Sponsor Circle a commission on your purchase, and 100% of that commission is donated to us.
