LEND A HAND, SUPPORT QHMS
Parents of Rising 7th and 8th graders: Join SLT!
Donate PE uniforms and school supplies!
The PTSA is sponsoring 2 donation drives through the end of the school year:
1. Donate outgrown or no longer needed QHMS PE uniforms to the PTSA; we'll put them to good use next year in our clothes closet.
2. As the school year winds down and you clean out backpacks and school folders, set aside still-usable school supplies such as pencils, pens, 3-ring binders, folders, calculators, etc.; these items can help teachers stock their classrooms with extra materials and keep useful items out of the landfills. (Donations of new materials are also very welcome!)
Look for donation boxes near the front office. If you would like to assist with the sorting and distribution of these materials, please reach out to Stephanie Klapheke at a217702@gmail.com

A note to Falcon Families, from PTSA President, Stephanie Klapheke
Hello, Falcon Families!
My name is Stephanie Klapheke, and I’m the current Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) president at Quail Hollow Middle School. I’m reaching out to you to ask for your support. The PTSA at QHMS really wants to expand the participation in our PTSA and to include parents and guardians from all of our feeder schools. To that end, I’d like to invite you to get involved with the QHMS PTSA . We are beginning to plan for the 2019-2020 school year, and would love to include our incoming families in that process!
I am happy to answer any questions you might have about the PTSA or volunteer opportunities; my email address is a217702@gmail.com. You can also reach out to our VP of School Support and Nominating Committee Chair Shelly Tuttle, especially if you are interested in serving on the Board or on a specific committee; her email address is shelleyjtuttle@gmail.com. The School Leadership Team (SLT) is also actively looking for incoming parent involvement; as a member of that team, I can also connect you with that group if you would like to learn more.
Thank you in advance for considering sharing your valuable time with the PTSA and the SLT. We look forward to building partnerships with your family as you transition into middle school.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Klapheke
