WR Odell PTA
September President's Message
Welcome Back Families!
It's hard to believe another summer has come and gone and we are at the start of a new school year. Your WR Odell PTA Board was hard at work this summer working on plans for 2016-2017.
Our annual planning meeting was held in July and we discussed the goals laid out by our principals and how we would work to achieve them. Dr. Helf would like to add Raz Kids Reading Software, hands-on science kits and build a learning garden at the K-2 Primary Campus while Mrs. Ward has requested Science Kits and learning garden supplies for the 3-5 Elementary Campus. In addition we will assess the needs of our teachers and staff throughout the year to supply them with the tools necessary for our children's success.
At our August meeting we finalized our calendar and started discussing the events on tap so we could continue to bring our families together while working toward meeting the needs of our students. Prior to the first day of school, we delivered two cases of paper to each of our teachers to help them get started with worksheets, activities and other needs. In addition, we met with new families at the Summer Tailgate presented by the Administrative Team and at the Kindergarten Popsicle Social hosted by the Kindergarten Teachers.
As we begin our year we thank you for your support and commitment to our PTA. We may be biased but we know we have the best families here at Odell. The success of our school is achieved because of the dedication of our families. We look forward to the year ahead and can't wait to see our principals' goals become a reality!
