PTA Board Nominations

Sent via e-mail through your room parents this week will be an attachment outlining the open positions on our PTA Board.  Please take a moment to open the document and see where you'd like to share your talents with our PTA and school community.  Dads these are not girl-only volunteer opportunities.  We'd love to have additional dads join our well-run machine.

PTA - Plea for Your Support!

Thanks to many of you who have already become PTA members and given to our check writing campaign in lieu of fundraising!  The PTA strives every year to meet a 100% membership goal.  In doing this it allows us to do wonderful things like:
 

                ·        
provide in-class cultural arts and educational enhancement programs

·         provide red Shady Grove t-shirts to each student for use on field trips and spirit days

·         provide a $100 donation per classroom for teacher supplies

·         purchase a Promethean interactive whiteboard for the library and an Activote classroom participation system for each grade

·         organize fun and educational family events

·         provide the teachers and staff with delicious lunches and snacks throughout the year

·         organize committees, room parents and tons of volunteers to help at the school


We simply can't do all of these things without the support of our Shady Grove community.  Currently, we are about 100 members short of our goal.  If you have not joined our PTA, please consider doing so today.  Click HERE to print a membership dues form and send it with your $5 dues in an envelope marked "PTA Membership" to school with your child.  100% of your donation impacts every teacher and student in our school.

As an added incentive, we will be selecting 2 lucky people from all of the PTA members as of February 28th to win a Massanutten VIP Vacation Passport!  This VIP Passport is valued up to $495, includes luxurious accommodations for three days and two nights for up to two adults and three children, or four adults.  This VIP Passport will also entitle you to your choice of either 36 holes of golf greens fees, two ski lift tickets (in season), or 4 water park passes.  You will also have access to the Le Club and Woodstone Recreation Centers.  Valid Sunday-Thursday stays, and 14-day advance reservation required.  Food not included in package.  Send in your membership dues and maybe you'll be headed off on a ski trip soon!

The PTA is working hard to keep you informed about upcoming events.  Please contact us if you have any questions or feedback to help make Shady Grove ES the best it can be.

 
Sincerely,
PTA President Signature
