Expect Moore…a note from our president

We are in the beginning stages of planning for next years PTA board. If you are interested in getting actively involved in the PTA, we would love for you to join our AWESOME team. Some people may think “I’ve got a job & kids, I don’t have time for the PTA”. Most of us also have jobs & we all have kids, but being active in the Dodd PTA is a rewarding experience on so many levels. A few of the appointed positions that are open are: youth protection, yearbook, staff appreciation, Watch D.O.G.S., field day, spirit wear, AR store, volunteer coordinator, and carnival. If you are interested or have questions, please contact me at allib5@verizon.net . If you are interested in running for an elected position (President, VP-fundraising, VP-membership, 1st VP, treasurer or secretary, please contact one of the members of our nominating committee (Leslie Simms, Michelle Math, Karen Alexander, Tracy Benner).
