PTA Business Sponsorship Highlight
Dr. Harlan’s mission is to provide you with personalized, high-quality care. He utilizes the most cutting-edge treatments for conditions of the hip, knee and shoulder with a modern boutique approach to orthopedic care. Our goal is to empower you with an understanding of your condition and treatment plan.
Volunteers Needed!
We have some events coming up that can't happen without some parent support. Contact southeastelementarypta@gmail.com if you are able to help!
Spring Family Fun Night - Scheduled for April 30th, 2020. This year's theme is Southeast Spring Sports Spectacular. Emily Farrow is the chairperson and is looking for corporate or family sponsors as well as help with planning and coordinating the event. The event is free to all SE families.
5th Grade Celebration - Jessica Lea is the Chairperson & is looking for volunteers available to help with planning and day-of coordination. The date has not been determined but will be the last few days of school.
I also want to let any 5th Grade Families know that Walden Middle School PTA is seeking incoming family involvement in the PTA leadership. Refer to this form for more information: Walden Middle School PTA Leadership
Proposed Bylaw Changes
The current PTA Executive Board is proposing changes to the bylaws to allow for more representation from the parties involved in planning and budgeting for our sponsored events and activities. Below is a document explaining this in further detail and the proposed new bylaws. We will be voting to approve these bylaws at the March 9th PTA meeting. Thank you, Jenn Anthony, for your thorough and dilegent work to complete these changes
PTA Board Member Nominations
Assuming the above bylaws are approved, we will be voting on new board members at the March 9th PTA meeting. This is explained in detail in the above document (PTA Attachment 01.13.2020). I want to reiterate, that these board members are NOT responsible for all of the associated duties, they simply represent the events at the board level. For example, The Family Event Coordinator is not in charge of ALL family events (Trunk or Treat, Cookies w/ Santa, etc). There will still be chairpersons planning and coordinating. Please contact a current board member or southeastelementarypta@gmail.com if you have questions about these rolls.
We are seeking nominations for the following positions:
VP of Membership
Treasurer
Family Events Coordinator
Staff Appreciation Coordinator
Classroom Events Coordinator
Nominations for these board positions can be submitted to the nominating committee via the PTA email or by speaking with a member of the nominating committee. The nominating committee will meet independently of the established PTA Board and determine who we will vote on in the March 9th meeting.
Nominating committee members: Kristina Mannell, Sara Meinhard, Erica Sheer, & Sue Ann Andrade
Pictures Needed!
The yearbook is needing more photos for the following areas:
- Cookies with Santa
- Winter Party
- Spring (Valentine) Party
- Any other candid photos that could go in grade-level pages
Creating the yearbook takes a lot of photos and we want as many people represented as possible. Please upload your favorite photos: plicbooks.com/go/17Smo

Attend a meeting! Childcare is provided (ages 2+)! This is the best way to know about decisions being made and let your voice be heard.
We have a lot of committee chairpersons that would love some support or a team of people to contact when planning events. If any of the committees listed below interest you, reach out to southeastelementarypta@gmail.com and you can be connected to a chairperson. If you expressed interest in a committee when signing up for PTA, your information will be shared.
There will be numerous needs for donated food and time requested throughout the year. Sign-ups will be sent out throughout the year with these requests. We provide many meals for the teachers and it is always a big hit!
