Welcome back to all returning
families and a big WELCOME to all new families. I sincerely hope you had a great summer and
enjoyed some rest, relaxation and quality family time. We are very excited for the 2012-2013 school
year. I look forward to serving as your PTA president. We have an AMAZING PTA board this year and we
are excited about getting the year started.
This year, more than ever, the PTA needs YOUR help.
With the budget cuts, PTA support is more critical than ever before. The PTA
raises funds to provide a wide range of educational enrichment programs for the
students. Money raised through PTA membership, fundraisers like our Fall
Pancake Dinner and Spring Carnival help to fund class fieldtrips, classroom
supplies, school donations, field day, water day, and much, much more. As the
new school year begins, we would once again ask for your support so that we can
continue making resource and learning opportunities available to our children.
For the PTA to be effective and truly
representative of the school, everyone’s participation is essential. We want
everyone to feel that they are part of the Dodd Community. Whether you have 30
minutes or a couple of hours, your ideas, your time, and your talents are truly
needed. There are endless possibilities in ways you can help. Keep in mind that by volunteering, you will
get to enjoy interacting with the kids, become friends with other parents, and
accomplish things that truly make a difference. We have many ways in which
Moms, Dads, Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents can contribute to the Dodd community.
We promise that the time you give to the PTA and the school will be worth your
while—and fun! Please consider volunteering, it really does make a difference
in the lives of all our children!
Again I am very excited to be serving as your PTA
president and I look forward to a GREAT school year.
Sincerely,
Patty Celis Dodd Elementary PTA President
