Public Relations Commitee update


After a busy and fruitful 2006-2007, during which time the Committee spearheaded an effort to publish a brilliant new school brochure, we are hoping to capitalize on the momentum created by this group of dedicated and creative parents and friends. We proudly announce our new campaign, focused on a balance of outreach programs as well as international initiatives. Through the generosity and professional talents of parents Cliona Geary and Garrett Reil, the school now has a series of promotional pieces that will be the cornerstone of this revitalized effort. The pieces reflect the warm ethos of the school community and offer a strong appeal to any family in the broader community with early school-age children. Raheen Wood would like to thank Cliona & Garrett for their time and passion in helping advance the school and its benefits through this beautiful work!
