Welcome Letter From The Nysmith PTO President.
As your new PTO President for the 2009-2010 school year, I would like first to take a minute to thank those returning parents who helped throughout the 2008–2009 school year. The outgoing board—President Paula Leszyk-Haney, Vice-President Robin Curtis and Secretary Theresa Schuster—spent countless hours serving the school through PTO-sponsored activities during the year just past. Their hard work and dedication helped make the 2008–2009 school year successful. THANK YOU!!
In addition to the board members, each PTO-sponsored event has a committee chair and co-chair. These individuals plan and prepare for each event. While much of this work is done behind the scenes, it is a critical component in making the events successful. When you attend class holiday parties, Field Day, Grandparents Day, or the Book Fair (just to name a few), please think of all the hard work that these folks have put in to make the event run smoothly.
I would also like to thank the many parent volunteers who have pitched in over the past school year. Please remember that our many PTO-sponsored events cannot happen without the help of our parents. I encourage you to volunteer for one or more of our committees and events.
For new parents joining the Nysmith family this fall, I’d like to also extend a warm welcome. The new year will bring many opportunities to share actively in your child’s education. The PTO has many exciting and new events planned for the 2009–2010 school year! Our Community Service Committee is being reorganized to include new and exciting service opportunities for both children and parents. Our Parent Education chair is working diligently to secure interesting and informative speakers for next year. Our new Book Fair committee chairs are looking forward to a new delivery of books for the fall Book Fair—a very exciting event for the kids! These are just a few of the many exciting PTO-sponsored events our kids (and their parents) will enjoy during the upcoming school year.
You should have received information about the PTO and our events in your summer mailing from Nysmith. In addition, you can always view PTO information on the Nysmith Intranet. As you read the information, please feel free to contact me with any thoughts, questions or ideas you have.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your 2009-2010 PTO President. I look forward to working with my fellow board members Kerry Villella and Denise Bunting, the committee chairs, and the Nysmith parents to make this year the best it can be for your child.
I hope you have had a great summer, and I look forward to seeing you at the open house on September 1st.
