We are quickly approaching the end of the year, and with the end of the school year comes the end of my term as PTA president of Horace Mann. I want to thank our wonderful school community for all of the support I have received over the past two years.
Parent volunteers - you are the backbone of this school and for all of your efforts, I will forever be indebted to you. It has really been a treat getting to know so many of you as we have worked together on projects and organized activities for students and parents. To our executive board members for 2014-15 and 2015-16, I just couldn't have done it without you.
Horace Mann parents - you'll be in great hands next year, with a new school building, with our outstanding administrators, and with Jamie Halimi, Jill Egerman, and Romi Azevedo, along with a very strong executive board, at the helm.
I continue to urge all of you to get involved at the school in whatever way you can. When my son entered Horace Mann almost ten years ago as a kindergartener, I never in my life thought I would have been PTA president. But through volunteering, I fell in love with the kids, the teachers, and the parent community, and here I am, a decade later, passing off the torch to a whole new group. I have seen that Horace Mann can be whatever our parents want it to be, so get involved and make your mark!
