Magic Lantern's Parents
Families with children at Magic Lantern will find multiple opportunities to become involved in this active preschool. Families are expected to attend parent meetings (6-8 per year); take on a specific job and/or actively participate on a committee; participate in work parties and fundraising endeavors. The school is ultimately run by parents who are elected annually to the board of directors. Day-to-day operations are managed by a part-time director on-site.
