Staff Newsletter - Week of 04/15/19
Our ALL Pro Dads are AWESOME! They amaze me daily with their high level of commitment to supporting the staff and students at Partee! Not only did they cook lunch for EVERYONE in the building....even those with special requests, they donated the smaller...very large...grill to Partee ES! Make sure you give them a BIG, non-Title IX, hug, handshake, note or something to let them know we appreciate them. They have been such a blessing to our school!
The ALL Pro Dads are planning a big event for our community on May 4, 6:30 - 9. Partee will host the first Screen on the Green. They will have great food, games, and a movie. Lots of fun for the entire family! They need volunteers to help make this event successful for our school and community. Please let me know if you are able to volunteer or attend. Also, please begin communicating this information to the parents.
Collaborative planning this week: Please be prepared to discuss the plans for the week of April 22-26.
