Elections are amongst us for your North PTA Board. (Open Positions: President, VP Members, VP Programs, Secretary, Parliamentarian.) If you are a current member even those moving on next year please plan to make it to our May 9th Election at 6PM. Every year yields a different story and capacity on how we are able to help. How can you serve on North's PTA in 2019-2020? If you have questions and are open to holding a board position please call Kirsi Ingram at 817-691-7366.
**Committee positions still available: Western Day Coordinator AM/PM, Red Ribbon Week Poster/Poster Contest Coordinator, Christmas "Gift" Planner for Teachers, Teacher Appreciation Coordinator, North Christmas Float, etc.
Quick Note:
“As we come to the end of another school year, I would like to encourage more parents to consider joining PTA for 2019-2020. PTA is simply a group of Parents and Teachers coming together in order to serve the students at North. Joining PTA is $10. Signing up for PTA gives parents/teachers the opportunity to quickly be in the know on how to be an active participant in helping North student’s in various ways throughout the school year. Joining PTA does not mean you have to be available to volunteer throughout the school year. PTA is for all ethnicities, economic status, working parents, single parents, etc. The cool thing about PTA is we can even invite friends and families to join all over the country! The PTA Board is equally thankful for donated items, donated food and volunteer hours. We will have early sign-ups at our Hot Dog Dinner and during August Registration. Please join again or rethink your reasons as why ‘not’ to join. We would love to have you! The 2019-2020 classroom to have the most PTA members including their teacher will get to parade around school during a Friday dance party and receive a class reward.(End date for this challenge has not been determined.) Call me or e-mail me anytime with questions, kirsiingram@yahoo.com or 817-691-7366.”
