Friday Folders--Important PTA information coming home

Keep your eyes out for the PTA Packet that should be coming home in every child's Friday Folder tomorrow.  In the packet is information about PTA, our committees, and involvement.  You will also find our Membership form, Directory Form and our Volunteer form.  In addition to this packet you can expect to see the Chess Club sign-up information and the Foriegn Language Program Registration Form.  Please return all completed forms as soon as possible to your childs homeroom teacher. 

You will also receive a Fundraising packet (and the Save Around Coupon Book inside).  We encourage everyone to take advantage of this coupon book as it has many valuable coupons for the Frederick area.  All unpurchased books are expected to be returned to the school by Friday, September 14th.  Thank you in advance for supporting the Yellow Springs PTA. 

We will be participating in multiple fundraisers this fall so please take advantage of the ones that interest you and return any materials for the ones that you don't.  You can expect to see: Save Around Coupon books, Raven's Raffle, It's all Fun and Games order forms, and Cookie Sales in the upcoming months.

General Membership Meeting

Come out to meet the new board, view the proposed budget and hear Mrs. Prichard discuss Common Core Curriculum. 

We look forward to seeing many people in attendance! :)
