What Has PTA Been Up To?
PTA has been very busy in August. We coordinated the volunteers for registration, purchased and distributed $900.00 in paper towels and hand sanitizers for all classrooms and produced our own PTA calendar at a savings of $700.00 for the staff and parents.  Thank you to all those parents and staff who volunteered to make these first activities successful.  Would you like to volunteer? Contact any PTA board member for more information.

Mark Your Calendar!
The PTA General Meeting and Open House on Wednesday, September 15th at 7 o’clock in the gym is the first, exciting event of the 2010-2011 school year. The evening will highlight PTA activities in the works, the installation of PTA officers, introduction of our wonderful school staff and a chance for your students to show off their classrooms and teachers. Don’t miss out on this great evening.
