The Day Student Steering Committee

The Day Student Steering Committee is a group that focuses on the special needs of the day community at Tabor. The Steering Committee meets monthly on the third Thursday of each month in the Ward Room, in the Academic Center. They enjoy a chance to meet other day families, hear from the faculty on different topics and ask questions related to their day students. The committee is chaired by David Pierce, and all (both boarding and day families) are welcome to attend at any time.  Refreshments are served!
