| Celebrity sighting! Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Pols at Patten Free Libary last week |
It's been a joy looking at every one's Facebook posts - beaches and hiking and baseball games. And here we are, approaching August! Proof time flies when having fun.
Though school is not in session, the PTA is still idling away. Fundraising companies began courting us the minute the year ended and are looking for contracts. So, I've been looking over sales history to provide to our Board. Deanna has set dates for the first Book fair and is working on a questionnaire seeking feedback and ideas. Our secretary, Kristen, has been looking into ways for more "passive" fundraising (through partnerships with retailers and other businesses) and we are all brainstorming on a membership campaign. We have closed the books (our fiscal year ended June 30) and are transitioning the records to our new Treasurer, Stacy C! Deb, Lanie and others will be shopping for Teacher Supplies in August. (after Deb, Lanie and Sarah decimate the Sunday River Tough Mountain Challenge on July 25! - go get'em ladies!)
I'll keep this blog brief, but wanted to give a shout from summer-land and say "We are still here!" Feel free to contact us at any time. In fact, just this morning I happily responded to an email from a new parent of a PreK student who was looking for ways to be involved this year. We love to hear from you - new parent, grandparent or otherwise!
Enjoy!
Lorna Ryan, President
