PTA Membership Update
Dear Vaughan Families,
Thank you to all who have joined PTA this year. We know it is a challenging year, and we continue to be grateful for your support.
Our PTA's membership is significantly down from past years. The PTA works with school administration and staff, community leaders, and other parents on behalf of our kids. Being involved in your child's school matters, and it makes a difference!
Join us on this journey. Thank you for your consideration.
Congratulations Recipients of Allen ISD Council of PTAs Citizenship Awards
Shanelle Campbell
Shanelle, a 4th grade teacher at Vaughan, has been an active part of our PTA board since she joined the Vaughan family. We love her enthusiasm for her students and fellow teachers - she even took the time to decorate the staff lounge to make it festive for the holidays! Shanelle always goes above and beyond for our students and staff. Thank you, Shanelle!
Melissa Dreher
Melissa has taken on a new role as the Vaughan Counselor and is heartfully transitioning to being the guiding light of the educational team. She put together a parent education night covering 'coping skills' that was very well received by parents and staff. We appreciate all of the ways she is supporting the Vaughan family. Thank you, Melissa!
Manuela Jiminez
Manuela was nominated by 3 different people for this recognition! She is a brand new volunteer at Vaughan, but she has jumped in and helped in so many ways. She stepped up to help with the whole school supply fundraiser and was there every step of the way. On top of that, she is working hard to make sure the Treasurer’s job is done right. She is a valuable new member of the Vaughan PTA team! Thank you, Manuela!
Kathleen O'Connor
Mrs. O'Connor has been a fantastic addition to Vaughan for the past two years. She works with special needs kids at Vaughan and keeps the parents informed and the kids so happy and actively involved in every aspect of Vaughan. She is always smiling and so kind to everyone at the school. Thank you, Mrs. O'Connor, for all you do!
