Good morning parents!
As you know, Chamberlain High School has gone through a tremendous transformation in the past few years. As the music director at this historical school, I have seen first hand the giant improvements made to our academic life here at Chamberlain since I began. I also know that band parents are by far some of the most dedicated, involved and organized parents in the school. Our band parents, specifically, have tirelessly worked to raise money for our band and Chiefettes so that we can provide them continuous opportunities to have extremely positive experiences with music.
The Chamberlain PTSA is currently looking for involved parents to be a part of theBoard. The open positions are President, Vice President, VP of Fundraising and VP of Communication. With band parent involvement in PTSA, we can continue to grow our music program and make it an even more integral part of student life here at Chamberlain. PTSA parents have the responsibility of raising funds for the school and making CHS an even better place to be for your student. Along with volunteering/participating with the band program and Band Boosters, I hope you will consider getting involved with PTSA. If you are interested, please email chsptsachiefs@gmail.com
Have a great weekend!
