PTA Announcement
Hello Park Village Elementary Families,
Happy New Year! I am excited to announce that the Park Village PTA has two new Executive Officers. Annie Chin-Auyoung is the Treasurer and Maggie Paola is the Secretary. I want to thank them for volunteering their time.
The PTA connects families, schools and communities by providing programs and services at your child’s school. PTA is the nation’s largest volunteer-led child-advocacy association working to drive improvements in the education, health and well-being of all children and families. When you are a member of PTA, you are an advocate for your child and for all children. The PTA has been active at Park Village since 1994.
Through the remainder of this year and next, the PVPTA will focus on these programs and events at our school:
1. Rebuild the membership of Parents and Teachers - Please join here to help with the effort. There are also several leadership positions available.
2. 3rd Annual Science Fair. We are looking for a Title Sponsor if you or your employer is involved in a science or technology based industry. Please contact me if you are interested.
3. Bring back the Reflections Art Program - which has been bringing the arts to life for more than 10 million students since 1969. California State PTA and its members, families and kids are on the forefront of this amazing program, which increases community awareness of the importance of arts in education.
4. Red Ribbon Week - the PTA would like to bring back and sponsor the annual assembly and other activities to promote a drug-free commitment.
Our next General Association Meeting is January 26. If you just want to help or you have interest in Leadership positions with the PVPTA, please join us! There are two more Executive Committee positions and Chairperson positions available for each program and event.
Thanks!
Tim Dougherty, President PVEPTA
Save the Date: Jog-A-Thon February 14th
What could be a better way to celebrate heart health than sponsoring and volunteering for your student at Park Village's annual Jog-A-Thon on February 14th?! Mark your calendars for a "heart pumping" good time! (More details to come.)
Please Help Increase Our School Funding by Filling Out this Application
Although school meals are now free to all students, the application for free and reduced-price meals is still very important. School funding depends in part on the number of students at our school who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. With all students now eating for free, fewer families are completing the application and our school is at risk of losing much-needed educational funds. Plus, students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may also be missing out on discounts on bus transportation, before and after school care, and home internet!
Even if you did not qualify before, but your income has changed, you may now qualify. For example, children from a family of four are eligible if the total gross (pre-tax) household income is less than $4,279 per month, or less than $51,338 per year. Household income information is confidential and applying online is quick and easy. Apply online at MySchoolApps.com, or pick up a paper application in the school office.
Penguin Pride -- Spirit Wear Fridays
This year every Friday we will be showing our Penguin Pride school-wide! If your child would like to participate please have them wear either their Penguin Pride gear or our school colors. Get your gear today!
Go Penguins!
