Central PTA News

The PTA/PTO Committee recommended at the April PTA meeting that our parent group should reorganize as a PTO (rather than stay as a PTA).  A vote to create the PTO structure will be taken at the next meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 6th.  All members are encouraged to attend.  For further information about the committee’s recommendation, please see http://www.centralptanews.org/category/ptapto/

Questions can be directed to any of the committee members:  Jane Wilhelm, Anne Kodama, Nancy Hopkins, Mary Jo Robling, Michele Mendoza or Mary Ellen Meindl. 

Mark your calendars, the next PTA meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6th at 9:00 am in the Central School Library.  The school year isn’t over yet and there are a lot of exciting events ahead.  The PTA meeting has a full agenda;

• Hauser Pride students will share their experiences from the conference

Do you have an “old” laptop in working condition that is collecting dust in your house?  Are you looking for a good place to make a donation? 

Central PTA and the Book Fair committee is looking for anyone with a working laptop computer to consider donating it to the PTA to use for future Book Fair events.  The Book Fair event requires a lot of coordination and organization that would be more efficient with the use of a laptop. 

Central PTA is a not-for-profit organization and the donation would be considered a charitable expense item for your tax records.  For further information or to make a donation, please contact Linda LaBelle by Friday May 2, 2008 at rllabelle@aol.com or by phone (number in the student directory).

Thank you in advance for your consideration
