One of many goals of the PTA is to foster a close relationship between home
and school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the
education of our children.
The most basic statement that can be made about parent and family
involvement in education is that when it happens, everyone benefits.
Many parents have shown interest in becoming involved in various areas.
Special mention must be made of two parents who are physically challenged.
These parents must be applauded, not only for attending meetings, but also
for volunteering their services. "Everybody can be great because anybody can
serve!" .-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Please support our fund raising efforts. As a direct result of budget
cuts our school has less money for supplies (paper, pencils etc.), we have
less paraprofessionals and there is less professional development for our
teachers. These are just a few of the ways in which the quality of teaching
and learning are adversely affected.
In past years you may have seen great success, or you may have been
disappointed with your results. In any case resolve to do more of the good
and work on the challenging spots. It takes the best in each of us to bring
out the best in all of us. Encourage your children to do their best and to
keep on going. Reject the idea of good enough. Commit to excellence! |
