President's Message
By Sue Manley 
Wow!!  What a way to finish out our year:
 
We've placed our order for a Scholastic Book Room - That's over 5000 new books in our school sorted and organized so our teachers can continue to build reading confidence in all our Cardinals!  The cost is $25,760 and the proceeds from the Silent Auction will cover the expense.  Congratulations and thank you to everyone who made this happen, especially Angela Roupe and Mary Sue McClintock.  We are expecting delivery in June.

We, the Shady Grove PTA, won the 2012-2013 Outstanding Unit Award for Henrico County at the elementary level.  This recognition belongs to all of us as we come together to strengthen our school and advocate for our children.

The two Shady Grove Destination Imagination teams are back from Global Finals in Tennessee.  We could not be more proud of both teams and are excited to say that the Snapagons won 2nd place in their challenge - that's right, the 2nd most creative team on the planet.  Congratulations to everyone who participated and thank you to Penny Sellers and Colleen Bohlman, the team managers, for all they have done to make this possible.

The Snapagons, who served as ambassadors for a D.I. team from China, are holding up their 2nd place trophy.
 
As we wrap up the end of the year the PTA board is going to meet one last time for this school year on June 6th.  On the agenda is the disposition of excess income for the 2012-2013 school year.  Some items suggested are:
·      Promethean Boards
·      iPads
·      Shade on the Playground
·      Artificial Turf type surface for the        GaGa Pit
·      Donation to the Oklahoma PTA to benefit Briarwood and Plaza Towers Elementary. Click HERE for info.
 
If you have any thoughts or ideas you would like to share, please contact a PTA board member or myself before the June 6th meeting.  At the meeting, the board will develop and vote on a proposed budget amendment to present to the general membership.  A survey monkey vote on the budget amendment will be sent shortly thereafter.
