A Note from the PTA President
As we bring 2018 to a close, I want to thank all of you for your help this semester. We've had a fun and busy few months since school started back in August. We had a successful membership drive that kicked-off at at Back to School night. We called together a multitude of volunteers to help with popcorn Fridays, Thanksgiving lunch, bringing in meals for the staff, hosting room parties, and lending a hand at the clothing center. We had an amazing Fun Run! We gathered Box Tops for Education to benefit our school. We submitted entries to the state Reflections competition. We facilitated a Wish Tree for the staff. We produced a student directory. And with all this, we even started a new fundraising program with collecting Shatto Milk bottle caps.
Stayed tuned with much more to come in the Spring semester as we look forward to our annual book fair in February, our upcoming StemScope night, the awesome Variety Show, a Friendship party, Staff Appreciation week, the arrival of the Yearbook, and more popcorn Fridays! It's because of your support, through time and money, that we're able to provide all of this to the students. Thank you!
Please plan to join us at our next PTA meeting on Monday, January 7, 2019 at 10am in the Flex Classroom at English Landing. Babysitting will not be provided.
In the meantime, please contact me at thegimples@hotmail.com with any PTA questions.
Here's wishing you all a very Happy Holiday over the winter break.
