Well, before you know it, we will back in school !! "Yay" for some, "nay" for others !
The summer always seems to go so fast. Is it because there isn't much of a schedule ? Or because we are having too much fun ?? Who knows, but time does seem to fly when you're having fun.
The schedule of PTA General Meetings is now up for the 2012-2013 school year. All general PTA meetings will take place at Cornwell Avenue this year (last year they were at GW). They will start at 7:30pm and usually last about an hour to an hour and a half depending on topics being covered and teacher and/or Principal reports. Last year we had a good turn out, we would like this year to be even better. Get involved, bring a friend. The more the merrier. Remember there is a raffle at the end of each meeting and you could win a great prize, bring a friend.
Have a new neighbor? Not a new neighbor, but someone who is just beginning their education in any of our schools? Bring them. Show your kids you want to know what is going on in there schools and with the teachers and Principals.
At our last meeting in June we had the sign up binders for this coming years committees - it's not too late, it's actually NEVER to late to volunteer !! Come on out to the September meeting and sign up for something, anything - it's fun - get involved. Whatever you can offer to volunteer, we will gladly accept it !!
Enjoy the remainder of your summer, before you know it the first day of school will be here and we will have to get back into the schedules of school, again "yay" and "nay".
**Chestnut Street School will be having there annual "Welcome Tea" for the incoming parents on September 12, 2012 at 8:40am, immediately after drop-off. So let anyone who may not know about it, know about it. Light refreshments are served and it's a nice way to get some information or ask some questions in an intimate setting.
