Expect Moore…a note from our president

It has been a great start to the new school year. As always, your PTA is working hard to plan a fun filled year for our Dodd students, their families, and the Dodd staff. Our motto for this year is “bringing families and our school together”. There are so many ways that you can be involved with your child’s school, whether it’s during or after school hours. I encourage all of you to somehow get involved this year…..it is worth it!!

Our fall PTA membership drive was a huge success. The PTA has close to 240 members already. Thank you all so much for supporting your Dodd PTA. Congratulations to the following classrooms that won the PTA membership “ice cream scoop” contest: Kindergarten – Mrs. Kelley and Ms. Kirbo; 1st – Mrs. Howell; 2nd – Mrs. Mossbruger; 3rd – Mrs. Williams; 4th – Mrs. Bridges.

The Dodd PTA Fall Carnival & Silent Auction is right around the corner. Please save the date for Friday, October 23. This will be the “main” fundraiser again this year. The Wylie rodeo was rescheduled for this date also, so we are hoping that everyone will choose to support their school on Friday and go to the rodeo on Saturday. The carnival is going to be so much fun!!! We will be having a Halloween costume contest, petting zoo, dunking booth (weather permitting), pie throw, face painting, inflatables, fun games & prizes, and last but not least… yummy carnival food. Please get those volunteer forms and pre-paid bracelet forms turned in ASAP.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the new spirit wear items for this year (Dodd Rocks t-shirt, Dodd & Wylie sweatshirts, & hair bows/ribbons). If you didn’t get a chance to order, it’s not too late. Order forms will be coming home again with your child sometime in November.

I’m looking forward to a wonderful year. Remember …. alone we can accomplish a little, but together we can accomplish a lot!!!!

Sincerely,
Allison Moore
Dodd PTA President
