In addition to elected leadership roles there are also volunteer committees you can lead or join.

The Fundraising and Communications committees are being revived and we are looking for volunteers to take the lead.

Fundraising & Events

This committee works closely with the SPC leadership team and Curley administration to identify fundraising priorities. In past years, the primary function of the fundraising committee was to raise money to support art, music, field trips, and the anti-bullying PlayWorks program at the Curley. Our focus for the 2020-21 school year will shift to supporting our community during the pandemic. 

Communications

This committee works closely with the SPC leadership team and Curley administration to share information and build community via the Curley website, weekly e-newletter (Paw Prints), social media channels, etc. Increasing language accessibility is a key priority for the upcoming year.

Representatives from the following committees will share information about how to participate in their work at the October 28th meeting.
