4. Walpole Seniors—Sarah Manning represented us at the
Walpole Seniors meeting. The seniors may need a ride to our meetings. We could
offer it. What do we have for seniors to participate in at the school?
Suggestions: maybe a list of
what seniors could do, it could be generated and then the seniors could fill
those roles. It is good that we are opening up the school up to the community.
There may be a need for them to go through a background check.
