PIIM Parents Involved In Meyonohk

PIIM is the Meyonohk School Council. All parents who have children attending Meyonohk School are automatically a member of PIIM and are welcome to attend any or all school council meetings.  
PIIM plays a very important role in the operation of the school, providing advice and consultation to the principal and staff on matters such as planning, budget, communications, community relations, and school programming.
We meet once a month, at varied times. Contact the school to learn when the next meeting is taking place. Your involvement really does make a difference to Meyonohk School and the educational opportunities available to your children. We love meeting new people and hearing new ideas!  Please check the online calendar for meeting dates.

CAMA- Community Assisting Meyonohk Association
CAMA is the fundraising arm of the school council.  Through CAMA, PIIM  provides needed financial support to the school.  For example, financing the new computer lab and library renovations were two of the major contributions made by PIIM/CAMA during the past five years.
PIIM/CAMA also supports families and students directly by purchasing library books, physical education equipment, math supplies, subsidizing major field trips and paying for special performers at the school. 
The school is greatly appreciative of the many supports that PIIM/CAMA have provided to the school.  We are also appreciative of the many volunteer hours given by individuals who serve on the executive role and help coordinate the work of parent volunteers in our school.
