Dear GRS families,
The next two years are going to be an exciting and pivotal period in the work of Great River School. We embark on several vital strategic goals to meet the Mission and Vision of the school. In order to do meet our goals, we need your support through participation on GRS Board Committees. Our school board makes all decisions regarding the long term strategic direction of the school, and our committees inform our board! Do you have time, passion, and energy to support the work? Might you have a skill that our committee needs? If you answer either question with "yes", then we need YOU!
Below is a summary of each Committee. If you are also interested in participating in a Board Committee work without a regular long-term committee commitment, please still contact us to participate in more specific working groups. Please e-mail opsboard@greatriverschool.org if you are interested in joining or learning more!
