Announcements

The National PTA is conducting a membership marketing survey to better understand current perceptions, to improve the member experience and better demonstrate the value of PTA. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and is open until November 12.

The Montgomery County Cluster PTA (MCCPTA) recently learned that few people have signed up for public testimony on November 13. Public testimony is open to everyone – individual parents or PTA representatives. Sign-up in advance for the November 13 event.

The annual Spelling Bee deadline has been extended to November 15. There are still slots open within each K-5 grade level. Don’t miss this opportunity to sign up for the Spelling Bee and get your child interested in spelling.

A huge thank you to all the parents who volunteered to chair our remaining committees. We were fortunate to have all positions filled with the exception of the Variety Show.

All committee chairs, please submit a plan of work to the PTA by November 15.

Tell Ma and Pa to plan for a special visit at school. We’ve reserved November 27 as Grandparents Day where our special visitors can enjoy a breakfast treat and attend classes. Look for a flyer with more details in backpacks next week.

PTA will hold its second general session PTA meeting of the year on December 10. We look forward to seeing you there.

Plans are underway for the annual Holiday Extravaganza being held in December. If you are able to volunteer to help with the planning and assist during the event, please reach out to Committee Chair Arti Varanasi.
