Because working with families is part of our mission statement, families are as important to Vita Nova as we hope Vita Nova is to them. We are in the process of developing our parent support group called The Parents' Round Table. King Arthur had his knights, and we have our parents!
If you are interested in being part of this group, please email one of our board members.
