John Swett Elementary School
PTA Newsletter October 2024
President's Message
WOW, what a beginning of the school year we have had! We hope that everyone is in the full swing of the school year!
Our first and second PTA meetings were incredibly well attended. We were able to pass our budget and thus, get funds into our classrooms! All our new and returning board members were introduced. Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting.
The Back to School Barn Bash was a huge success! The food trucks all donated back to our PTA school fund and the 5th grade dessert table raised well over $500! If you were unable to attend this first event, do not worry, we will have plenty more! Thank you to Lisa Zaccaro for organizing this event!
The Roadrunner Dash was VERY successful we exceeded our goal! A huge thank you to the coordinators, Gerilyn Attebery and Denise Starkey and to all of our sponsors!
Our homecoming parade float was certainly the talk of the town! Thank you to everyone who participated in the construction and execution of the float. A special shout out to Tessa Heuer and Nicole Peterson for your dedication to our SHREK float.
As a reminder we have a meeting each month in the library. You do not need to be a member to attend. Hopefully we will see you at a meeting soon!
Sincerely,
Michelle Korn and Lisa Willis
