Every year at this time the PTO Parliamentarian has the almost impossible job of putting together a slate for the PTO Board. This year was especially difficult as only 6 nominating forms were turned in to her. Amazingly, Sheila Pensotti did a fabulous job of putting together a very exciting slate for our next year's PTO Board. If you received one of the many calls to duty this last week and you said, "yes" or we were able to talk you into a yes, THANK YOU. If you were not able to commit this year, perhaps you will consider taking on a role next year. I don't think you would be sorry. As a parent, I don't think there is anymore important role I can take on that will impact my children more than a role as PTO officer. The kids love seeing you working up at the school and it is a wonderful opportunity to meet the teachers and administrators of our campus. I have learned so many things about how public schools work and am learning more each day. Some good, some bad, but all interesting. I urge you to consider taking on an active role with the PTO next year. There are many opportunities still available and many committees forming. We have a lot of fun.
Now, the sad news.... with the end of the year rapidly approaching, I will be saying goodbye to some of my best friends and partners in the PTO. My daughter, Macy, is in 5th grade and I have been working with that group of parents now for 6 years. If I ever needed help or support, they are who I called. To imagine being President again without seeing their faces in the meeting is going to be extremely sad. My vice president is one of my very closest friends and I will miss her greatly at the meetings. To those of you who are moving onto middle school, you were loved and appreciated. All the dads and moms alike will be very much missed. Thank you for the impact you had on our kids and our school. It is a better place because you were there.
Looking forward to the future!
Lisa
