Msg from Dorothy Holt PTA President
Wow! It’s hard to believe that we have finished our 2nd nine – weeks and are now entering into our spring preparations. There are so many exciting things happening this month. As we begin the second half, we look forward to more success and more fun starting with our “Groovy” Spring Book Fair from Feb. 22nd through the 26th. Then Diverse Abilities Week is scheduled from March 2nd to March 4th. And our last scheduled spirit night event at Blaze Pizza will be on February 18th. As one can see there are plenty of opportunities for you to help volunteer and support our school!
Have you ever thought of being part of the Nichols PTA board? If so, now is your time to get involved! At our recent PTA meeting on Thursday, February 4th, we selected our Nominating Committee to help choose the 2016-2017 Nichols PTA Board. Our committee consists of Jennifer Bryant, Camie Wallace, and Heather Alwood. Their information to contact them is listed on the nomination forms. The nomination forms and committee interest forms for all board positions are being sent home in students’ folders this week, and will be posted on the website and available in the office. The forms are due back on Thursday, March 3rd which can be returned back to your child’s teacher or the office. There will be executive board positions as well as committee chair positions available for the next school year.
We hope you will consider and get involved, as this is one way for you to help and make a difference.
Thank you for your time and commitment to the Nichols PTA!
