RE: Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Organizational Meeting

We are pleased to announce that an organizational meeting will be held on June 7, 2010, 7:00pm, at James Blair Middle School for the purpose of organizing a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for Lois S. Hornsby Middle School. Through the PTA, we can help strengthen the quality of life and education in our community. The PTA is a valuable line between home, school, and the community, providing all with important information benefiting our children.

Representatives from the Virginia PTA will be present to explain the benefits, basic policies, and procedures of the association, allowing time for questions and discussion. Through the PTA, we can help strengthen the quality of life and education in our community. The PTA is a valuable line between home, school, and the community, providing all with important information benefiting our children.

After voting to organize, we will adopt bylaws, accept charter memberships, and elect officers(if you would like to nominate someone for an officer position please see nomination form on the back of this memo) so that our PTA can begin operating immediately. In this association, we will join with parents, teachers, administrators, school board members, and other citizens to enhance the educational, health and safety, and cultural opportunities for every child.

Looking forward to seeing you!

We are seeking nominations for President, President-Elect, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary for our new PTA. We are looking for widespread involvement and interest and are committed to an open process as we seek, recruit, and develop new leaders. Advanced nominations are encouraged. To make a nomination (they must be willing to accept the nomination), complete the nomination form and return to Clara Byrd Baker Elementary School by Thursday, June 3, 2010 attention to: Ruth Larson, Nominating Committee, Lois S.

There have been a couple requests to return to the old format of 2-3 cocktail parties, 6-8 dinner parties, and then everyone gathering back at the clubhouse for dessert.  The format was changed to the current format (1 large cocktail party and then dinner + dessert in separate homes) in 2007 due to lack of volunteers to chair and co-host the dessert progression.  The dessert hosts (led by Simone Belden for several years) worked extremely hard to provide a themed party, but attendance was mediocre and the hosts had to rush out of their dinner parties to be ready at 10PM. 

Bottom line – the dessert hosts weren’t able to relax and enjoy the evening because they had to rush through dinner to get to the dessert progression.

If anyone would like to step up and volunteer to chair desserts at the clubhouse, we can certainly entertain returning to the 3 progression format. 

Without that volunteer, we will continue with the 2 progressions. 

Please call Susan Farr or Trish Rice if you would like to volunteer to chair desserts at the clubhouse.

THANKS!!
