PTA MEETING MINUTES:
Homestead-Wakefield PTA Welcomes You
Dear Parents,
On behalf of the 2007-08 PTA we would like to welcome you to another exciting school year at Homestead Wakefield. We have many exciting events planned for this year; Walk- a -Thon, Scholastic Book Fair and Family Game Night, to name just a few. We look forward to you joining us for our first monthly meeting in September.
There are many advantages to becoming an active member of the PTA. Here is just a few:
Benefit your child. The number-one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school.
Be a Role Model. By becoming a PTA member, you?ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
Get Connected. There?s no better way to know what?s happening in your school.
Watch Yourself Grow. By volunteering with your PTA, you gain valuable experiences. It?s an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a good cause?your child and all children in the community.
Speak Up. Because the PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to make suggestions. PTA can be a way for you to be a catalyst for change at your child?s school and to recognize and celebrate the success of our children.
Witness Improvement. By getting involved at your child?s school you?ll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Local PTAs play an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and social events?all vital to a school?s success.
Discover Great Resources. The PTA offers a variety of programs designed for parents as well as students.
Tap into a Network. Parenting is not easy?it helps to share ideas, concerns and experiences with other parents and educators in the community. PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind.
Please contact any of the following individuals, if you have any questions or concerns - we are here to help you and our educators to make this year another great success.
