Meadow Village Elementary needs your help
I would like to think those who volunteered for the library at the school but still more volunteers are needed. Can you give a few hours to help out? Please think about it.
I received a message from Ms. Sallie Frederick, the Principal and she has indicated with budget cuts, and their growth in attendance from 1% to 1.2% that help is needed. Ms. Frederick also indicated that last year they were able to give away prizes in drawings daily for students who were present. If anyone wants to donate items to give away, they will be greatly appreciated. Items from the dollar stores, from convention booths, etc. Everything is welcomed. The school does not have funds to purchase those items this year. Nor do we have funds to purchase the "dog tags" that the children love so much. We give those for "character awards" such as good citizenship, attendance, participation, improvement, etc. We appreciate all that your association does for us."
Meadow Village Elementary School and their staff throughout the years, and especially this year, has really helped our association out. They allow us to hold our monthly meetings there, they leave their air conditioning on in the cafeteria for us, they let us store our Hospitality Committee boxes in their storage room, deliver them to us and return them to storage. They advertise our meetings on their marquee. They clean up after our meetings, and don't complain if we sometime stay late. Anything we ask of them they are more than willing do to. Where would our association be without them? We really appreciate them. They truly take care of us and I would like to help take care of them in their time of need.
So, what I would like to ask, if anyone can donate any of these items or money for the school to purchase these items. It is a good deed that the school is doing in trying to get kids excited about school and education.
One more thing, it is again time to renew your PTA membership.. It is only $5.00 per person and you do not have to attend any meetings. You can join even if you have no children in school. The money received helps the PTA pay for field trips for the students, the funds all go back to "the students". We will have applications at our September 27th meeting.
See you all soon,
