President's Message
By Sue Manley  
The PTA Nominating committee is still looking to fill two positions on our PTA board: Treasurer and After School Enrichment. Click HERE for Nominating Form.

Mrs. Lisa Blouch, our Shady Grove Librarian and Teacher of the Year, gave an excellent presentation on internet safety during the parent coffee last Friday morning.  If you were unable to attend, we've put a copy of her presentation on our website and a link to the Shady Grove Library webpage with lots of links to safe internet sites.

Congratulations to all six of Shady Grove's Destination Imagination teams.  Of our three teams who were in the competition category, all three have been invited to compete at the State Competition.  Check out the team's pictures on our facebook page.

The Henrico Citizen has launched a search for "Henrico's Top Dads" and I know that our Shady Grove dads are some of the best.  Dads inspire us and teach us everyday.  Check out the essay contest flyer and submit your nomination before April 30.

The VAPTA has a new and improved website: www.vapta.org.
  Some of the information, including discounts are only available to members who have activated their membership cards. If you still need to join the PTA, here is the membership form.You can activate your card HERE.
Fun Run
Grab your running shoes and get warmed up for the 2nd Annual Shady Grove Fun Run!
Wednesday, March 27, from 3:30-5:30pm.

This 1-mile run is open to K-2 and 3-5 students at Shady Grove. All participants will be recognized for completing the run.

We will need MANY parent volunteers to make this event as safe and fun as in the past. If you can help, please contact Sally Raderer or Andrea Wright.
Volunteer of the Year
The 2012-2013 SGES Volunteer of the Year is Michelle Bone.  We want to thank Michelle for all the many years of service and dedication to the Shady Grove community.  She had been on the PTA board for 5 years, holding the position of Membership, Treasurer, and currently Hospitality.  Her volunteering went beyond these roles and she has been an active participant in multiple areas like Programs and the Rock-a-thon.  

This year, we had more than a dozen nominees for this award.  Each candidate has made a difference at the school through their acts of service.  Thank you, volunteers, for making Shady Grove such a wonderful school for our children and their teachers!
