Altadeña PTSO

May 23rd, 4:31 pm

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
