Altadeña PTSO

My year as a one hit wonder PTSO president has come to an end. Thank you Altadeña families for the support. A massive hug to the most incredible board - you made the magic happen! The PTSO is in good hands with new leadership at the helm and many familiar faces simply shuffling positions, including myself. Cheers to a great summer ~ Yours, Nicole Koester

Thanks for all your love and support Altadeña PTSO

Thank you! That was a wonderful breakfast and an emotional morning.

Are you able to pass on who all are moving on? 😢 If it was sent by the school, I missed it.
