Message

President

Hope
 
that
 
everyone
 
has
 
had
 
a
 
great
 
start
 
to
 
the
 
new
 
school
 
year!
 
I
 
want
 
to
 
thank
 
everyone
 
that
 
attended
 
our
 
first
 
PTA
 
Meeting
 
of 
 
the
 
year.
 
It
 
was
 
nice
 
to
 
see
 
all
 
of 
 
your
 
smiling
 
faces.
 
If 
 
you
 
were
 
not
 
able
 
to
 
make
 
it,
 
that’s
 
okay.
 
Our
 
next
 
meeting
 
is
 
on
 
November
 
19
th
 
at
 
6:30p.m
 
in
 
the
 
Media
 
Center.
 
So
 
keep
 
this
 
date
 
on
 
your
 
calendars.
 
 
I
 
also
 
want
 
to
 
thank
 
all
 
of 
 
the
 
parents
 
that
 
have
 
stepped
 
up
 
and
 
took
 
on
 
an
 
event
 
or
 
committee
 
for
 
the
 
PTA.
 
Without
 
your
 
help,
 
the
 
PTA
 
would
 
not
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
run
 
so
 
smoothly.
 
THANK
 
YOU!
 
We
 
do
 
still
 
need

they
 
are
 
getting
 
their

Autumn
 
Fest
 
was
 
a
 
ton
 
of 
 
fun
 
this
 
year
 
with
 
a
 
lot
 
of 
 
great
 
activities:
 
hayride,
 
face
 
painting,
 
crafts,
 
story
 
time
 
and
 
Family
 
Night
 
at
 
the
 
Book
 
Fair.
 
The
 
hayride
 
given
 
by
 
Jim
 
Bos
 
was
 
a
 
fun
 
family
 
experience
 
that
 
couldn't
 
be
 
beat.
 
This
 
year
 
they
 
put
 
on
 
a
 
cover
 
in
 
case
 
of 
 
rain,
 
but
 
the
 
rain
 
held
 
off 
 
and
 
the
 
weather
 
was
 
quite
 
enjoyable.
 
Clifford,
 
the
 
dog,
 
even
 
made
 
an
 
appearance.
