Ryan Van Der Karr’s Experience

PTO President

Minooka Intermediate School

(Primary/Secondary Education industry)

September 2008 — Present (11 months)

This isn't a paid job, but it is a job. In my desire to be more involved in my children's education and be supportive of the school and school system I volunteered for this "easy" job. I am glad to be here and I hope that we have a positive impact for the children. In addition, I hope to be a positive force in the transition to the new 5-6 school building for 2009-2010.
