2009-10 Parent Volunteer Committees

Our dynamic and dedicated parent body serves the mission at Larchmont Charter School through a variety of ways, including fundraising and volunteering on key committees. Many of the Chairs of these committees also serve on the Principal's Council, which is an advisory body comprised of parents, teachers and staff who meet monthly to discuss key issues facing LCS. Many of our committees are listed below; you'll see it's a long, distinguished list representing the many talents and contributions of our parents!
