Parents’ council meeting

The next meeting for The Spokesman-Review Parents’ Council is on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.

The Parents’ Council is a group of parents that serves as an informal advisory board to this paper.

The group gets together occasionally to talk about family, kids, school and many other things all connected to raising a family in the Inland Northwest. On a day-to-day basis, the group stays connected through lively and engaging conversations on the Parents’ Council Blog at https://www.spokesman review.com/blogs/parents/

If you are not a member of the Parents Council, but interested in joining this meeting or if you have a topic you’d like to suggest for the blog, please call Pia Hansen at (509) 459-5427
