One dedicated parent. One classroom. One community at a time.
Our mission is simple: ensure every classroom at JLE and OSE has an engaged parent volunteer who supports students, strengthens family connections, and serves as a PTO liaison. Together, we build a stronger Chehalis — one classroom at a time.
