Looking for A Few More Exec Board Nominees!
We are still in need of a few parents to join the team that will direct and dream up the future for PTA programming at White Eagle for the 24/25 school year! We have strong applicant pools for many of the positions, but are still in search of folks to serve as 1st and 2nd Vice Presidents. Please take a look at what members of this year's team had to say about their time on the Exec Board and consider if you might have what it takes! Any questions can be directed to whiteeaglepta00@gmail.com and the link to apply is below. Voting will take place at the PTA Meeting on Wednesday, May 15th and all nominees must be current PTA members.
VICE PRESIDENT
"Wow- what amazing two years during which I've served as PTA President and Vice President. I wanted to become an Executive Board member to get closer to my kids’ teachers and have an opportunity to serve our school. In this current role, I've been able to plan the Ice Cream Social which brought such joy to see everyone having playing with friends or eating their favorite ice cream. I've also enjoyed planning/ overseeing all of in-school activities such Parent Teacher conferences, Restaurant Nights, and Teacher Appreciation Week. I've loved being able to work with so many White Eagle parents and staff members throughout the year. We couldn’t have done any of it without all of the parent volunteers and sponsors! So from your Vice President, thank you for making my job so much fun!" - Joanna Pelletier
