Jenny Idichandy, VP

The Membership Committee is very busy in the beginning of the school year planning and implementing the membership drive for New Prospect families and faculty. A Faculty Membership Raffle is held at the Monday breakfast when teachers return to school and Sneak Peek is the big event for New Prospect families. The goal is to achieve 100% membership. New Prospect is fortunate to have generous business partners.

Family Fun school nights and events are initiated, planned and then carried out by several different chairpeople. A significant amount of money is raised from these alliances which assists in promoting the interests of the PTA.
