Your 2008/2009 School Council

Thanks to all the parents who visited us at the CMPS Open House and who attended the first council meeting. Most of the first meeting was spent on electing the 2008/2009 council, who will spearhead the development of programs and services, their delivery and fundraising efforts. The new Council is:

Richard Marcil, Chair
Steve Cole, Co-chair
Ozzie Ahmed, Treasurer
Kimberly Namespetra-Sullivan, Secretary
Elizabeth Ney, Volunteer coordinator
Roger Boettcher, Principal
Alison Wardrop, Vice Principal
Barb McLeod, Teacher
Julie Croteau
Jo-Anne Hennig
Lisa Hooper
Lisa McDonald
Donna White

If you have any questions about school council or want to get in touch us, attend any of the meetings (held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month) or ask Mr. Boettcher at the school office. Get involved, have fun and make a difference!
