Dear PTA Members,

Welcome to an exciting new year with the PTA! I’m so grateful for your commitment and enthusiasm as we embark on another journey to support our students, teachers, and community.

For those who don’t know me yet, I’m Caitlin Quigley, and I’m honored to serve as your PTA President this year. A mom of two, a former elementary school teacher, and a dedicated member of our community, I’m passionate about making this year exceptional for our students, teachers, and families.

I’m thrilled to announce that our first PTA meeting will be held on September 12th at the elementary school, right after the book fair. This meeting is the perfect opportunity to come together, share ideas, and set the tone for a fantastic year. Your presence would mean so much, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on how we can continue to make a difference.

Thanks to your amazing support, we’ve already raised over $20,000 in our membership drive towards our $100,000 budget goal! These funds are earmarked for some incredible initiatives, including STEM Nights at both schools, engaging school assemblies, and the always-anticipated Daddy/Daughter Dance. And that’s just the beginning!

Mark your calendars for September 26th, because our next big event is our Silent Auction, where you’ll have a chance to bid on coveted items like "Teacher of the Day" and other unique experiences. The auction proceeds will be essential in funding our spring semester projects, ensuring we can keep the momentum going strong.

Let’s make this year unforgettable. If you have ideas, questions, or just want to connect, I’m here and eager to hear from you. Together, we can achieve great things for our schools and students.

Please Check out our Newsletter attached below.

Looking forward to seeing you on September 12th!
