PTSA Co-Presidents Thank You and Your Membership!
At this time of year, the PTSA is busy trying to find volunteers for next year. You may have seen the Nomination Form come out in last week's newsletter, or in paper form that came home with kid mail. As the co-Presidents this year, we are both staying on for next year so we wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your support throughout the year so far, as well as ask you to consider volunteering for next year! If you're not interested in or able to step up for an Executive Board position, there are several other roles that also need people.
Secondly, we'd like to reiterate that membership in PTSA is for everyone interested in making a difference in the lives of children whether you can volunteer or not. This includes parents, teachers, students, teenage mothers and fathers, couples without children, grandparents, senior citizens, god-parents, foster parents, community members and leaders, business people, and school board members. There is a place for everyone in PTSA and you can be proud to participate in an organization that accomplishes so much for children and families.
We welcome all ideas or suggestions, feedback and if you're interested in volunteering for a specific event or role, please contact us: Satin Brennan satin_san@hotmail.com and Mike Ewanchuk redrock23@msn.com
We appreciate all your support as we work to support your children and the Horace Mann Community.
Sincerely,
Satin Brennan and Mike Ewanchuk
Co-Presidents Horace Mann Elem. PTSA |

Contribute Your Photos for the Horace Mann Yearbook!
What's the best way for your child to see themselves in the yearbook? Contribute your photos!
Our classroom photographers have taken several pictures of the children through the year, but there is room for more. If you have any photos from classroom events, parties, or field trips, please send them our way. We are also particularly in need of photos from the first day of school, assemblies, and musical performances.
