Monte Gardens Coordinators (Alphabetical List)

Monte Gardens Elementary is supported by an army of parent/guardian volunteers. A segment of this volunteer army is comprised of coordinators with a wide array of responsibilities. While important in their own right, none of the roles presented below are a part of any one committee.

Each position includes an estimate of total time require in the year ahead. While actual time spent may vary, whatever time spent would count towards the 20-hour-per-household volunteer goal. 

The sum of its parts is greater than the whole. Thank you for your contribution. Onward.
