The year is marching along … and so is the PTA. Although the bad
weather cramped out style for a while … we are springing back into
action. We are hoping to see many of you, especially our 8th grade
parents at our upcoming PTA Meeting where there will be a
presentation on alcohol and teens today. The social committee is
getting ready for our spring social - disco style - Friday, March 21st.
As we march along to finish this year … we have to start making
plans for next year. I know no one wants to think about this but we
really need to. Consider jumping on board and joining our crew. On
the back side of the fridge note check out the list of the various
positions and consider filling one of the vacancies … think of a
friend that could do it with you. I can tell you from my experience
that our involvement does make a difference. Give me a call and
we can chat about the possibilities.
Get involved and make a difference in your child’s education!
THINK SPRING!
