TONIGHT, TONIGHT, TONIGHT

Tonight is the LAST PTA meeting of the year.  The sign-up books will be out for those who wish to help out on a committee next year.  You do not have to chair an event, most committees require very little help.  So, why don't you sign-up ???  It helps the kids and your kids would LOVE to see you at school or helping out in some way, ask them.  If you are still not sure, ask any Board Member and they will tell you which committee is best for beginners ... get your feet wet, try it !!!  These committee's are here to help the children, OUR children, ALL of OUR children so give it a shot, you'll love it !

Anyway, tonight 7:30pm at Cornwell Avenue School cafeteria.  See you there !
Wonder who will win tonight's raffle ???  Could be YOU !!!!

Happy Father's Day !

To all of our wonderful fathers, grandfathers, Godfathers and uncles who help us out when we most need it !!  Hope you all enjoy your day.

The last PTA meeting of the year is quickly approaching, where did the time go ??
MONDAY, JUNE 20, 2011 at Cornwell Avenue School, 7:30pm.  We do hope to see many of you there and don't forget to sign-up for a committee for the coming school year.

June PTA Meeting

Well, the end is in sight !!  The last PTA meeting is being held MONDAY, JUNE 20, 2011 at 7:30 pm at Cornwell Avenue School.  All the binders will be out for sign-ups for the committees for next year.  PLEASE sign-up for something.
Every bit helps !!!  If, for whatever reason you CANNOT make a meeting (you can still sign-up in September), PLEASE contact us through here (make a comment, let us know your name and what you want to sign-up for), Facebook, e-mail or contact a Board member and we will get you signed up !!! Its that easy.  Don't feel left out, we can ALL be a part of the PTA.  There are many committees to join, for example - fundraising (photo day, Kidsstuff books, bookfair), Staff Appreciation Day, Special Persons Day, Spring Boutique and MANY, MANY more things we need volunteers for.  Your kids would LOVE to see you helping out in some way, however big or little it is.

Thanks in advance and we hope everyone has a safe, happy and health summer !!

May in West Hempstead Elementary Schools

Well, May is over and the last month of school is upon us.  It is hard to believe another year os almost done !!  Last month we had a lot going on at CA, CS, GW.  To start with we had our plant sale and Spring Boutique which were both successful.

At Chestnut Street the children enjoyed "Butterfly Boogie", a semi-puppet show explaining the life-cylce of butterflies, ask a kindergartner how it was !!

The Middle School had their Spring Concert, which we hear went wonderfully !!

The West Hempstead Elementary PTA received an award for having 25% of our membership as fathers !  Way to go guys !  Something that not every PTA gets.
Now that the year is quickly ending, don't forget about Summer Reading.  The reading lists will be posted on the website shortly.  Keep the kids reading over summer break !

Our next PTA meeting will be held Monday, June 20, 2011 at Cornwell Avenue School at 7:30pm.  It is our last meeting for the year, sign-up lists will be available for committees for next year 2011-2012.
