We would like to welcome back all of
the returning students and the new students to Carriage Crest ! We are
Julie Arndt and Lisa Thiel-Sloan, your PTSA President and
President-elect for the 2008 – 2009 school year.
We are looking forward to another
wonderful year full of fun events! I want to thank the staff, teachers,
PTSA Board of Directors and Committee Chairs who worked in a
collaborative effort to plan our school year! We have a fabulous year
planned for you!
We have a few new things happening
this year. Our website will have a minor “facelift” in the upcoming
months with new graphics. We are also trying to go “Green” by reducing
the amount of PTSA flyers going home. In an effort to do this, we are
introducing the “Yelper” which will be a weekly newsletter for upcoming
events. We are going to continue the tradition of the PTSA Calendar.
Look for that to come home within the next few weeks.
We have had a very busy month so far,
and school has barely started! Hopefully, everyone enjoyed their ice
cream at the Social and the latte and goodies as we began our school
year!
As you all may know September is
National PTA month. Please don’t think that to be a member you have to
volunteer. PTA appreciates everyone’s membership, whether or not the
member volunteers; our members at Carriage Crest increase PTA’s ability
to advocate for children.
Don’t forget to come to the first
Dance of the school year. You will have fun dancing while supporting
our community with the donation of new socks & underwear!
As we begin our year, please take the
time to let us know how we are doing. Feedback is crucial so we know
how best to support the school and our PTSA Members. As always, please
know that you are welcome to attend our PTSA Board Meetings on the first
Tuesday of every month. If you have any questions, please don’t
hesitate to contact Lisa or myself.
Thank you,
Julie Arndt & Lisa Thiel-Sloan
