Volunteer of the Month (VOM) - November 2019 - Karly Phillips

11/18/2019

Congratulations to the Volunteer of the Month for November 2019, Karly Phillips!
Thank you Karly for everything that you do. The McCall PTA appreciates you!

McCall PTA is proud to honor Karly Phillips as our November Volunteer of the Month. Karly has been volunteering at McCall for 2 years. She has 2 children; Layla in 1st grade and Presley who is 4 years old. Her current role in the PTA is Hospitality Chair and Color Run Coordinator. Karly plays a vital role in our PTA and we couldn’t be more proud to have her as a part of our team!

Why do you feel it is important to volunteer? I really love the feeling of helping others. Creating a healthy environment for these kids is important because we do not know the struggles they may be going through. Listening to someone or putting a smile on their face makes me feel accomplished.
What is your favorite thing about McCall? My favorite thing about McCall is the friendships I have developed over the last 2 years. I’m having fun doing this “mom thing” with everyone!
What’s your favorite family pastime? My favorite thing to do with my family is making popcorn, getting on our big comfy couch and watching a movie together. I love the little snuggles and I do not take them for granted!
