November’s Volunteer of the Month is Anita Comeyne

Mrs. Comeyne is always busy with work as a Physician Assistant, mother, and volunteering at our school. Anita and her husband Bruce have two sons at King’s Grant.   Their oldest, Ethan, is in Mrs. Murphy’s 3rd grade class and Owen in Mrs. Reed’s 1st grade class.

Anita is the co- room representative for Owen’s class and the room representative for Ethan’s class. She is the class assistant for Mrs. Murphy. Anita is also part of our PTA’s Continuous Fundraising team, she can tell us how to link our grocery discount cards so that the school receives credit when we shop and she is collecting the used drink pouches as another fundraiser for our school.

We appreciate all you do Anita, thank you!

Thanks to all the Volunteers that were able to make it to Orientation, we had a great turn out. We are off and running on PTA events and volunteer positions. Your response to help has been tremendous. Thank you! If you have not been notified yet by receiving emails from me or would like more information about volunteering please contact me, Michelle Brunn, Volunteer Coordinator

The school store has bumper stickers, koozies, and car magnets for sale as well as student supplies. Please come check it out during your child’s lunch time.
