Assemblies
This is my second year as a Northmont parent as my son is in 1st grade for the 2022/2023 school year. Professionally, I work full-time in contracts at Rady Children’s Hospital Genomics. I am drawn to the close-knit Northmont community; I was a Room Parent last year and am excited about my first year serving on the PTA Board. My goal is to schedule assemblies that are both engaging and impactful. I highly encourage parents to sign up for a PTA Membership and volunteer for school events. Every little bit helps to boost our children’s learning atmosphere!
