PRESIDENT'S NEWS...

Welcome all new and returning Highland Creek Elementary Students and Families!

 

We are looking forward to another great year at HCES – where “Helping Children Experience Success” is our goal.  Your PTA board has been busy planning events and programs for this school year.  In order for your PTA to have another successful year, your participation is welcomed and needed.

 

At HCES, we have been very fortunate to have an active PTA.  Last year, your PTA was able to provide valuable learning resources for our students.  Such items included:

 

*     $800 for AR (Accelerated Reader Program)

*     (3) SMART Boards (Interactive white boards) for the school in addition to 2 previously purchased SMART Boards purchased with PTA funds.

*     “Imagine It” eSuites for all students.  This is a standards-based, fully integrated technology reading program for today’s elementary reading classes.

*     $1,000 to each Specials Area ( PE, Art, Music and Technology)

*     $3,000 to Media Center

*     $500 for each grade level

*     $100 for each teacher for classroom materials

 

With the continued growth of our school, your participation in the HCES PTA is needed.  The following are some pathways in which your support will make a difference in the lives of Highland Creek students:

 

·       Join the PTA – complete the enclosed membership form.

·       Attend PTA meetings that are held throughout the year.  Our first meeting was held on Wednesday, September 1, 2010

at 6:30 p.m. with a Volunteer Kickoff party to follow.

·       Share your time and talent!  Please review the list of committees that need volunteers and chairs.

·       Complete the Parent Volunteer Form and return it to your child’s homeroom teacher no later than Friday, September 3, 2010.

·       Support PTA fundraiser this fall.  Further details will be sent home in October.

 

Please take a few moments to review the PTA package to learn more about the Parent Teacher Association at Highland Creek Elementary. You will find information about PTA membership, volunteer opportunities and some simple ways to help earn money for HCE.  With your support, the PTA can meet its primary goal…making every child’s potential a reality!

 

If you have any questions, please contact us at president@hcepta.org .   We look forward to you joining our team and together building a strong HCES PTA.

Please email us at president@hcepta.org for any comments or concerns.

Sincerely,

Karen Peterson & Lisa Lee

HCE PTA President & 1st VP
