We need your help!! Looking for a rocking chair and lamp for mothers' room
We have several new mothers who are coming into the school to breastfeed. We have a private space for this to happen. However, the space needs a comfy chair and lamp. If you are about to get rid of your current comfy glider and/or lamp, please consider donating it to College Heights instead. Please reach out to Caretha if you are able to help with this.

We're still always looking for more volunteers for our PTO committees. Sign up to volunteer here!
