Musings from the PTA corner - May 2009
Musings from the PTA corner……
This current year is wrapping up so very quickly, it seems like we just had the first day of school and now we are only a few weeks away from the end of the year! With that will also be the end of my 2nd term as President of the PTA. I have mixed feelings, some relief as there is such a responsibility to all the children and parents, and sadness as with any passing and stepping down. What an opportunity now for more new ideas, different ways of doing things! Your new president will have the new position enthusiasm and will need all of our ideas and support. Now is a good time to join PTA or renew your membership for the new school year. Your voice, your vote, and your leadership is needed! PTA provides so many things for our school that directly impacts the quality of your children’s education and your involvement drives what is provided.
Some of the PTA accomplishments this year have been:
Programs –
- Teacher/Classroom Supplies Reimbursement
- Science Fair
- Summer School Enrichment Scholarships
- Kick off Water Festival
- Classroom Book Sets
- 8th grade promotion ceremony funding assistance
- Pride program
- Hospitality/Teacher appreciation
- Boo Hoo Breakfast – first day of school for parents.
- Bi-annual Book Fair
- Spirit Shirts
- K-5 Dances
- Field Trips
- Picnic in the Park
- Yearbook
Gifts –
- Funding the Artist in Residence program for 6-8th grades for 2009-2010
- Binding Machine
- Library Pack n’ Roll Carts
- Announcement Board
- Art & Science Supplies
- Sand retaining wall for K-1 playground (installing in June 2009)
- Plans to install a Sunshade for K-1 playground (long term goal 2-3 years).
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be of service to you and your children. It has been an honor for me to serve you and the school.
Patti Wade – PTA President
