There is still time to join the PTA!

[Marianne Anderson]

Well, the 2012-2013 school year is off to a great start. We have seen
many of you at the new student orientation in August, Parents Night in
September and the winter concerts. Students have already enjoyed their
first PTA-sponsored assembly and we have lots of other plans for the
rest of the year. But we need your help.

There’s a simple way for you to do this: JOIN PTA!

PTA helps parents, students, school staff, and communities work together
to share ideas about programs and activities that benefit children. Our
PTA provides information and resources that strengthen the connections
between children, parents, schools, and the community.

In the past year we have:
 Put on a number of programs, including Vanaver Festival of Dance, an
internet awareness seminar by Thomas Grimes and several others.
 Hosted the 8th Grade Dance and the Honor Roll recognition events for
the first three marking periods.
 Encouraged reading by coordinating book fairs through Scholastic and
Barnes & Noble.
 Taken over publication of the yearbook.

PTA is America’s number one parent involvement resource. By becoming a
member, you will not only help your child in one of the most important
ways possible but also receive valuable benefits including:
 Parenting resources, such as online access to select articles from Our
Children magazine
 E-newsletters on parenting and legislative issues
 Exclusive discounts and offers from corporate sponsors and member
benefits providers on such items as insurance, copying and printing, and
banking
 The Member-to-Member Network, connecting you to Congress when help is
needed on issues important to children, schools, and families.

Please join by filling out the information below and returning it to
school in an envelope marked “PTA MEMBERSHIP”. If you would like more
information please email Denise Vivace at snd...@optonline.net .
