Expect “Moore” ….. a note from your PTA President

The holiday season has passed already. I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New year. I find it hard to believe that we are already in 2010. Let’s hope it’s going to be a wonderful year. Here at Dodd, your PTA will be doing what we can to make it a great year for all students and staff.

On Friday, February 19th, we will be having our 2nd annual spaghetti dinner here at Dodd. We will be having a raffle again also. More information will be coming home with your child soon.

Also in February, our last classroom party of the school year will be on February 12th. Check with your room mom to see how you can help.

Looking forward to April and May…….just so you can mark your calendars. Friday, April 16th, will be our 2nd annual Dodd Sock Hop. If you joined us last year, you know how much fun it was. If you missed it, you won’t want to miss out on the fun this year. Field Day is scheduled for Friday, May 14th. I’m letting everyone know about this early because we rely greatly on volunteers to make this a success. I know most parents that volunteer need to request off work for that day, so, now you know the date.

Don’t forget about our paper recycling contest that is going on right now. We are competing against every elementary school in Wylie. We will be holding this contest until the end of March. Please bring your junk mail, catalogs, school papers, etc. to the green and yellow Paper Retriever bins in the back parking lot at the school.

Thank you to all of the dads that have volunteered their time in our Watch D.O.G. program. This program has been such a success. The kids love having their dads at school helping out.

As always, if you have the time, try to make it up to the school to volunteer. There are multiple volunteer opportunities waiting for you. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2010.
