Message from the President :
The school year is in full swing! Our first "Skate Night" was a great success with FUN for everyone. Thank you to all who went.

Did you know that one of the benefits of being a PTSA Member is receiving insurance coverage while volunteering at PTSA events? In fact, this is such an important aspect we will be asking all volunteers to be PTSA Members so we may extend this coverage for their protection. Please sign up today! For just $7.00 the benefits are incredible.

October PTSA meeting will be held Thursday, October 15th. Everyone is invited. Please mark your calendars and plan on being there.

Do you have any questions, concerns, ideas etc. to share with the PTSA? The officers:
Suzette Nedervelt, President
Peter Moy, Vice President
Charlene Marshall-Hitch, Secretary
Vivicca Monahan, Treasurer
