Dear Springer Parents,
On behalf of the SPES PTA I would like to welcome all of our 2011-2012 Springers to a new school year. We had an amazing 2010-2011 and now look forward to what the year ahead will bring! I am eager to serve another year as PTA President and I have an incredible Executive Board by my side.
What can you expect from the SPES PTA? We support the students and faculty of SPES in so many ways. We provide numerous programs and materials throughout the year as well as volunteers for countless activities. We spent nearly $70 per child last year! Our meetings are generally the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm. One exception to this is the September Meet the Teacher Night which is scheduled for Thursday, September 15 at 6:30. This is the one meeting that is geared towards parents. Please try to make childcare arrangements that night. At this meeting we will be voting on the audit, the proposed budget and PTA legislative items for this school year.
Some of our events and programs run continuously or several times during the year. These include Restaurant Spirit Nights, Spirit Wear Sales, WatchDOGs program, Bake Sales at meetings, daytime programs, staff hospitality events, monthly newsletters and weekly email reminder blasts. Our seasonal events include our Springer Fund Drive, Reflections Contest, Kids Club Sessions, Something Pumpkin/Trunk or Treat Night, Family Week Activities and Talent Show. We will also have our Spring Carnival , Yearbook Sales, Ice Cream Social and 5th grade Celebration.
We encourage all parents to become PTA members and to donate to our Springer Fund (information coming soon) so we can continue to offer the great support that we have provided in the past. Last year our Springer families met our budgeted goal and we were able to provide funds for the new CAVE lab at school. When you bring your Springer to Open House, please fill out and return the forms in your child's folder as soon as possible. We have combined several forms again this year and it is only necessary to fill out ONE yellow PTA form per family if you list all of your Springers on it!
Lastly, please do not hesitate to contact any members of the PTA board with concerns, suggestions or questions you may have. I invite you to contact me directly at president@springerpta.com or 270-0830, or any board member via the "Contact Us" page.
We're looking forward to a great year!
Beth Strader
PTA President 2011-2012
