PTA Update:
Thank you to all of the staff members who have joined the PTA! There are lots and lots of names on the PTA Superhero board outside the gym. If you have not joined yet, I hope that you will do so. Our prize drawings were held last Friday during our Staff FLASH PTA Drive at 4p.m. Brittany Griffith won the Bath and Body Works gift basket, and Debbie Pratt won the $25 gift card.
We will have our first PTA meeting this Tuesday right after the Faculty Meeting. If you are a member, please stay for a few minutes so you can vote in the candidates running for Board positions. As soon as we can get our Board elected and trained, our PTA can begin working to plan events for our students.
