Expect Moore…a note from our president

The school year is winding down once again. I want to thank everyone for their support of Dodd & the Dodd PTA. It hasbeen a great school year. We still have several events planned for the end of this year. Field Day is Friday, May 14th. Weare no longer taking shirt orders, but if you are available to help on this day, please turn in your volunteer forms orcontact Coach McCrary at angie.mccrary@wylieisd.net. Field Day can’t be successful without the help of our wonderful volunteers. It is so much fun for the kids and they love having their parents there helping out. We will be having a waterday on the last day of school (something new this year). We will also need volunteers for that, so be watching yourstudents folders as the middle of May arrives.

We held elections for the 2010-2011 Dodd PTA board at our general meeting on April 15th. Congratulations to yournewly elected board: President – Debra Meyer, 1st VP – Lisa Ulmer, 2nd VP (Membership)- Marla Mathis, 3rd VP(Fundraising)- Michelle Math, Treasurer – Bobbie Grogins, and Secretary – Autumn Bright. We appreciate the time andcommitment that these ladies are willing to put forth. On that note, I want to thank my current board. We have had agreat 2-3 years together and I couldn’t have asked to work with a better group of ladies (and a gentleman). A few ofthem will be leaving us for good….Tracy Benner, Veronica & Jay Koebel, Lori Wakeman, and Del Thatcher. Thank you,thank you, thank you!!!

Yearbooks will be delivered in May. If you haven’t ordered yours yet, it’s not too late. They will be available for salewhen they arrive.

Enjoy these beautiful spring days because the summer heat will be here before we know it.

Thanks again for your support.

Sincerely,
Allison Moore
Dodd PTA President

Thank Heavens for Teachers…

I Want To Be Like You

Thank you, teacher,
for being my life's role model.
When I consider all you've taught me
and reflect on the kind of person you are,
I want to be like you—
smart, interesting and engaging,
positive, confident, yet unpretentious.
I want to be like you—
well-informed and easy to understand,
thinking with your heart as well as your head,
gently nudging us to do our best,
with sensitivity and insight.
I want to be like you—
giving your time, energy and talent
to ensure the brightest possible future
for each of us.
Thank you, teacher
For giving me a goal to shoot for:
I want to be like you!
