Do you want to make a difference at Strandwood? Do you want to help support our school's great programs and play a role in deciding what new programs to adopt? Consider joining the PTA Board.  The PTA funds all the programs you love here at Strandwood: Nutcracker, art, science, and classroom instructional aides. We have many openings on the board, as many of our board members have fulfilled two-year terms.

 

The following positions are open: president, executive vice president, vice president of Communications, assistant vice president of Communications, assistant vice president of Ways and Means, and assistant vice president of Programs.

 

For more information about these board positions and what they entail, please e-mail PTA president Dante Siracusa at strandwoodprograms@yahoo.com.

  
Bike Safety Day Volunteers Needed!
by Oliver Tuggle

Bike Safety Day needs a coordinator in order for it to happen this year! If you have an interest in teaching our children proper bike safety please let us know! We need for this to occur sometime in May and the coordinator can expect plenty of volunteer support. Help us help our kids ride their bikes the correct way!

Also...the Strandwood PTA would like to implement a fun, developmental after-school basketball program and we need a coordinator for it to happen! Coaches and curriculum are already provided but we need someone to be the point person for our school. You'd be doing a great service to those kids who want to play!

If interested or want more information about either position, please contact Oliver Tuggle at vpprograms@strandwood.org.
