PTA Messages
The first week back to school after a long break is always a transition. Alhamdullilah we have made it into the second week and things seem like they are back to normal at our school. PTA is working on new projects and planning for the rest of the school year.
We would like to ask PTA members for your feedback. Please let us know if you have any ideas or thoughts to share. If you have an idea for a project or event, or you are interested in planning and coordinating an event, please share this with us. We look for and welcome your ideas!
