| How do I join and become active? |
All families are encouraged to participate in NAPP by paying the annual $10 dues. NAPP benefits your children in a variety of ways, such as bringing the Art Barn petting zoo to school, providing teacher appreciation activities throughout the year, and raising monies for school enhancements. NAPP also utilizes parent volunteers to assist with special events and projects throughout the year. There is no great time commitment required - some events require only an hour of your time.
If you would like to join NAPP, please download the NAPP Membership form, available under the 2011-12 Parent Info & Forms link. Fill it out and bring it, along with payment, to the Parent Fair August 22nd or 23rd. NAPP will have a table set up to receive your membership and answer any questions you may have.
