As a parent of a student at CORE Butte, I would be honored to serve on the Parent and Staff Charter Advisory Council because I believe in the unique and exceptional opportunities this school offers to families.

I would love the opportunity to contribute to the school’s development and ensure that every student and family has the resources and support they need to succeed. By serving on the Advisory Council I hope to help shape CORE Butte’s educational programs, ensuring they continue to meet the diverse needs of our community.  In summary, I want to use my gifts and talents to help serve CORE Butte and it's families in hopes that CORE will continue to thrive and remain an option for families for years to come.
