Presidents Update It's hard to believe conferences are over and we are headed into holiday time. The year is flying by. I wanted to thank everyone for their great support of the PTA so far this year. We have over 400 members signed up! If you have not yet done so, it is not too late. We always welcome new members. There are many other ways you can get involved too. All members are welcome at our business meetings. You can also talk to your building representative about helping with one of the many events that are held specific to each elementary building. The PTA hosts several parent nights throughout the year, which everyone is invited to attend. There are also kid nights at the roller skating rink that helps us raise money for our organization, while having fun family time. Or you could help out with our biggest fund-raising event of the year, our carnival. We would love for you to get involved, please just let us know how we can help you do that. Have a great idea that you would like to share to help make our PTA the best? Contact me at Kahl1_1999@yahoo.com. Thanks again for all of your support.
