On
behalf of the Cactus Ranch PTA, I would like to welcome all
of our families back for the 2009-2010 school year! We are
very excited about this coming school year! Working together
with our school administrators and teachers, the PTA has
been busy planning new family nights, programs for both
parents and students and fun family events like Hoedown!
Events like these help foster a sense of community and help
make Cactus Ranch feel like home.
As
parents, it is extremely important to be involved in our
children’s education. PTA is a vital link between home,
school and community. It is the largest child advocacy
volunteer group in America and speaks on behalf of children
who cannot affect change for themselves. The PTA’s budget is
based solely on membership dues, school-wide fundraisers and
tax-deductible donations. I encourage you to become an
active participant in our school and community by becoming a
member of Cactus Ranch PTA! Membership in PTA allows parents
to have a stronger voice in how PTA funds are allocated,
what kinds of fundraisers and events are planned and how to
best support our school. Another benefit of PTA membership
comes in the form of discounts from places such as Sea
World, Six Flags, Dell and Southwest Airlines, just to name
a few! Please consider joining PTA today!
We
are always in need to volunteers on many levels. Without our
generous volunteers, events like our Back to School Howdy,
Hoedown and Family Nights would not be possible. We have
volunteer opportunities for every time and commitment level
– there is always something to fit your schedule! Please
check out the volunteer form to see what best fit your needs!
With
your time, talent and monetary support, we can accomplish
great things for the students, teachers and families of
Cactus Ranch. Some things to look forward to this year will
include: agendas provided to the students and completely
funded by PTA, guest authors for the students, cultural arts
programs, parent program – The ABC’s of the Birds
and the Bees as well as our continuing programs such as
Watch D.O.G.S., and Hoedown. In addition, we as a PTA help
maintain the district’s Clothes Closet for children in need,
and coordinate the local Reflections contest and Science
Fair for our students.
We
invite you to become a part of something wonderful!
Together, we can make this year even better! Please take
some time to view the highlights of last year’s PTA
accomplishments and our PTA Executive Board Roster for the
2009-2010 school year.
