As mentioned last week, McLean Youth Basketball has agreed to share in the costs of replacing our gym floor. Our general membership will vote on a budget amendment at our June 14 meeting to fund our portion. We hope to get the renovation completed by early fall. We will also be voting on a budget amendment to allocate funds to install an outdoor volleyball court adjacent to the soccer fields, as well as our new slate of officers. Please review the attached Budget Amendment Proposal for both amendments and let Laurie Plishker know if you have any questions or concerns. 

As a second reminder, due to a labor-intensive system, ongoing collection problems, and technical problems, the PTA will no longer be accepting personal checks on orders placed through the website. PayPal will allow you to use your bank account to pay for online orders using an E-check system. We will still accept checks at onsite events such as the Book Fair and Open House (for school supply kits and PTA memberships). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  

Be sure to stop by our Spring Book Fair next week to stock up on summer reading, travel games, and birthday gifts.  

Finally, the Full Day Kindergarten budget amendment was passed by the School Board last night so beginning this fall all schools, including Chesterbrook, will provide a full day of kindergarten. Congratulations to those who've spent so much time and effort to make this happen. It has been a tremendous effort on the behalf of engaged parents advocating for their children, just as a PTA should be.  

Don't forget today's early release at 1:20 and enjoy the long weekend!
