PTA (8/27/19) Meeting Notes

Hi PTA parents!

Sorry for my delay on this!  If you missed the last meeting, here’s a quick recap!

Membership (Officers/Committee Leaders Announcements):

  • It was a meet and greet!  We introduced the new officers.
  • Tara Stigall will be our treasurer and Marianne Horstman is our secretary.  Additionally, Erin Shonkwiler will remain VP of fundraising and Ali Moore will be VP of Membership.
  • We introduce the committees the PTA has and opportunities for you to help out.  If you have the ability to help, these are the committees that still need help:
  • Membership– we need 1 more person to help promote membership throughout the year.
  • Nominating- we need 2 people to send out emails/flyers etc at the beginning of the year to promote officer positions that will become available effective next school year.  Voting happens at our March meeting so we would need to know candidates by that time.

Fundraising:

  • Book fair- we could use 2 more people to join the book fair committee–set up , take down and run the book fair during parent/teacher conference nights.  You will not need to work the entire book fair–just help coordinate volunteers so it’s staffed at all times!  (grandparents and older children can work this as well!)
  • Spirit wear- we need 3 people to help our current spirit wear person continue to promote and sell spirit wear at events.
 

****If you’re interested in helping, just reply via email and give me your name, phone number and preferred email and I’ll get you going on your new role!

Beyond that, we passed out a bunch of PTA information at the meeting.  I’ve attached all the handouts we had WHE PTA Information Sheet, Calendar of events (with meetings notated), etc. This is super helpful so you know what’s happening each month or if it’s a month your committee might have something going on!  I’ll update it each month and send out a new one so we all stay informed!

And, one final thing–we will start using the app “Remind” to communicate with you in addition to Facebook and this email.  You’ll need to download the app or text a code to sign up and get these notifications.
 
Here’s the link to Remind:  http://remind.com/join/whillspta 
OR
you can text @whillspta to 81010
 

I highly encourage you to set this up!  The reminders will then come directly to your phone so you don’t miss anything!  We’ll do a text “remind text” this week after we have everyone set up in the system.

Please always feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or need anything!  You can email me in the PTA email ([email protected]), at [email protected], or you can text me at 913-660-2845. Thank you for your support this school year!  We are very excited you are a part of helping make our school the BEST it can be for our children!
Have a great day!
