Parent Committee The Parent Committee is seeking new members. The committee is an important way for parents to be involved in a child’s education. Parent involvement sets higher goals for the child and helps them appreciate learning both at home and at school. It’s a great opportunity to meet other TCW families. Come out Thursday, Jan. 24, 5-6 p.m. at 22 Cedar Swamp Road.
