PTA Update
Cougar Communication - January 7, 2023
Dear Cougar Community,
Welcome back to school and Happy New Year! I hope you enjoy the new format of a bi-weekly newsletter versus the weekly room parent email. Hopefully this will get better information to more parents and faculty. Please read on for PTA information for a successful return to school in January.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 2023!
Lydia Wright
GH PTA President
PTA Happenings
January
- To start off 2023 we will continue hosting Comerica monthly lunches for our staff and serve dinner to staff on Parent Conference Night.
- PTA will also be planning our spring speaker and potentially a speaker series. Look for an interest poll in early January.
- PTA will also look at ideas for a Late Winter Parent Social.
- PTA President and VP will continue working with SBDM and our school leadership team on improvements for parent/school communication.
Getting Involved
This spring we will need volunteer support for PTA with yearbook design, field day and other potential school events. We have a core group for yearbook and field day but additional support is always welcome. Some of our previous spring events are also looking for Lead Volunteers right now including 100th Day of School, Grandfriend's Day and the Student Talent Show. If you are interested in getting involved in PTA, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Gaurange Robinson at Gaurangalila@gmail.com
DISD First Step to Volunteer!
In order to volunteer for school events you must be registered annually in the DISD Voly system. Please take time today to sign up! This insures all of our volunteers know the safety guidelines of helping in our schools and pass a background check. https://dallasisd.voly.org
Lunch with your Cub!
Click https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f4daca929a0fb6-lunch2 to schedule your lunch time with your GHE Cougar Cub. Please email or call Ms. Rios at school with questions.
Feed The Teachers
We have a Amazon Wish List for teacher snacks. You know they need extra energy to keep up with all of our kiddos!! The teachers no longer have a vending machine for cokes and snacks so Ms. Lane has created a snack station for our staff. Letβs help her keep it supplied all winter! Please visit the link and order some snacks for our dedicated staff! (Thank you to Jen Strunk for setting up this project.) https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/T0D6P1KKWQCU
