We hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing Spring Break and are ready to head back to school. Thank you to all the families who attended our last General Membership Meeting, Ice Cream Social and Awards Ceremony on March 27th. The membership elected your Executive Board for the 2008-2009 school year: Co-Presidents Dana Tate and Pam Ogdon, Vice-President Christi Minister, Secretary Michelle Freed, Treasurer Susan Hendricks, Cashier Laura Gabbard. We are still looking to fill a Co-Vice President position for next year’s board. If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We are so fortunate to have a strong core of volunteers and staff at Lake Youngs. Their dedication to the students of our community is second to none! The recipients of this year’s awards are - Mariann Kallaher and Anita Kallish, Golden Acorn, Ruth Nowak and Kate Sanford, Outstanding Advocates, Stacy Bahill and Wendy Bradley, Outstanding Educators. Thank you for all you do to make Lake Youngs Elementary a GREAT school!
The Scholastic book fair wrapped up on March 28th and was a tremendous success. Your purchases help to provide much needed books for the library and classrooms. Mark your calendars for the Buy One-Get One Free bookf air on May 27th-30th.
Students did an outstanding job on their Science Fair projects this year. Judging and viewing took place March 11th – 13th and we would like to extend a HUGE thank you to our Science Fair chair, Colleen Rodland and to our advisor Alan MacArthur. The students enjoyed getting hands on experience with science and we hope they all learned something from doing their projects.
Keep your eyes open for improvements to the courtyard between the 1st and 2nd grade corridors. Tables with benches and colorful patio umbrellas are in the works due to the generosity of our membership! Thank you so much for your continued support.
Planning is well underway for the Bear Country Carnival (June 6th), Talent Show (June 10th) and Sixth Grade Party (June 19th). As with any and all of our programs, we invite you to get involved. These are large events and we need lots of volunteers in order to ensure their success. As always, please feel free to contact either of us with comments, questions, concerns and/or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Toni Troutner and Dana Tate
Co-Presidents Lake Youngs PTSA
