This comes after just one year at our elementary school as the parent of a Kindergartner. I hadn’t even attended all the events I would be “overseeing” as president, but went in with lofty and optimistic hopes about how the year would go. Luckily, all I ever needed to learn in life, I learned this year in PTA. Well, at least where schools are concerned.
