Expect Moore…a note from our president
It’s hard to believe that we only have 3 months left of this school year. As the school year winds
down, we must start planning for 2009-2010. We are now in the planning stages of electing new
officers for next year’s PTA board and appointing committee chairman for the openings that we
have (yearbook, environmental and field day). If you have any interest in joining the team, please let me know. The nominating committee will present the nominees for the “elected” positions at the general PTA meeting on March 10 at 7PM and elections will be held at the general PTA meeting on April 10 at 7PM.
Don’t forget about our Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Dodd Sock Hop on Friday March 27.
Come and join the fun. We will have pictures, a balloon drop, ice cream, music and dancing. You
won’t want to miss it.
We are in the lead of our paper recycling contest against Smith and Groves. The contest
ends April 3rd, so keep bringing your paper to the school to be recycled.
Field Day is scheduled for May 15th. This day can’t be successful without parent volunteers.
Please put this date on your calendars now. It is such a fun day for parents to share with their
children.
Thank you to all of you for your dedication to the children of Dodd Elementary.
Sincerely,
Allison Moore
Dodd PTA President
