HFCS PTA Kicks off 20010-2011 Year
The Hoosick Falls Central School Parent Teacher Association (PTA), a group of involved, caring, and committed moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, teachers, administrators, and alumni, is underway with the new school year. PTA has been active all summer preparing for the year, and they’re helping to ease students and teachers back to school at the open houses and other activities.
The PTA will continue to make a difference in 2010-2011 by giving $100 to each grade level for extra supplies; by hosting several family-oriented events, Fall Festival, Family Fun Bingo, appreciation days, the monthly food coop, and a holiday gift shop; by volunteering time and offering funding for countless programs and events; and much more.
PTA will hold business meetings ten times a year. Meetings this year will be held in the HFCS Elementary School Library from 6:30-8:00pm on September 15, October 20, November 10, December 15, January 19, February 16, March 16, April 13, May 18, and June 1. The Executive Officers are excited about what PTA members can do for the school and the children in our school district, and want to remind people that although attending meetings is beneficial, having involvement away from the meetings is most important! Members that aren’t able to join the meetings help in other ways too. They volunteer their time at events, donate gifts and supplies, and are financially supportive with their $5 membership dues.
The team of officers leading with lots of enthusiasm this year is: president Heather St. Hilaire; vice president Tracey Niles; treasurer Laurie Gormley; secretary Sarah Steller; and teacher representatives Gina Harrison (Junior/Senior High School) and Margaret Stevens (Elementary School).
If you’d like to become a member or to learn more about PTA and its programs, please attend the first meeting on September 15th or contact membership chair Andrea Lane at 518-686-0734.
