Please come to the General PTA Meeting this Thursday, November 12 at 7:00 PM in the school library.  We will be selecting the Nominating Committee.  The Nominating Committee is responsible for seeking out qualified and eligible individuals willing to serve in the PTA for the 2015-16 school year.  It has tremendous influence in shaping the future of the PTA.  If you are interested in serving on this committee or would like to recommend someone, please come to the meeting on Nov. 12 or contact Brittney Dix at drbabad@msn.com.   In order to serve on the Nominating Committee, you must be a PTA member in good standing. 

Spotlights!

They are finally here!  I thought it would be fun to try to get to know the faculty at our school,  so I have been given permission to do a spotlight section!  I will be adding new spotlights often, so make sure you keep checking!

Keep your eyes open for a fun new section that's coming SOON!!

Thank you!

A HUGE thank you for all those who helped make the Fall Carnival and the Book Fair a huge success!!
