By: Ariahn Knoedler, Steering Committee Parent-Vice Chair
My name is Ariahn Knoedler and I am the newest parent member of the D’Evelyn Steering Committee. I am writing to ask you to consider serving on the Steering Committee as we will have two parent vacancies for the next term starting the 2023-2024 school year. I volunteered at Dennison for years, and since my kids started attending D’Evelyn in 2018, I started volunteering by helping out with various social activities. I then started participating in accountability meetings, helped with several textbook and curricular committees, and observed steering meetings for several years. There are many wonderful ways to help serve at our school and I determined that the Steering Committee is a big reason why our school has maintained such impressive standards of excellence throughout its existence. I completed the required reading several years ago but decided with all four of my girls at D’Evelyn, this year I would pitch and serve on Steering. So far, it has been great - it is a time commitment of four or five hours a month but I am enjoying meeting teachers, and learning about the behind-the-scenes at our great school. If you are thinking about running for one of the parent spots, the first step would be to read our founding document. Then, if you even have the smallest interest in serving on the Steering Committee next year, please plan to attend our Steering Committee training on Tuesday, November 8 at 6:30 pm (following the accountability meeting- this meeting satisfies one of the required pieces of the application process). In the meantime, you are also welcome to reach out to me personally and I am happy to answer any questions you may have! (303-641-6166 or [email protected]) Comments are closed.
