Why Join PTA?
(This is a direct quote from the national PTA website)
"The number-one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit
your child. In doing so, you also help your school. But there are many more
advantages. Here are just a few:
Get Connected. There's no better way to know what's happening in your
school.
Discover Great Resources. The PTA offers a variety of programs designed for
parents as well as students.
Tap into a Network. Parenting is not easy. it helps to share ideas, concerns
and experiences with other parents and educators in the community. PTA
functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building
rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind.
Watch Yourself Grow. By volunteering with your PTA, you gain valuable
experiences. It's an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use
for a good cause. your child and all children in the community.
Speak Up. Because the PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are
encouraged to make suggestions. PTA can be a way for you to more effectively
suggest change at your child's school.
Witness Improvement. By getting involved at your child's school you'll be
part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Local PTAs play an
important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-
based programs, and social events. all vital to a school's success.
Be a Role Model. By becoming a PTA member, you'll be demonstrating to your
child the importance you place on education."
How do I join the PTA?
At the beginning of every school year, the PTA volunteers will send a
welcome packet along with a membership envelope home with your child.
You can also join at any time throughout the year. Membership forms are
available here on this website on the "Printable forms" page. We also have
membership envelopes available in the school office and at all PTA meetings.
How do I volunteer?
There are many ways to volunteer here at Fryelands whether it be in the
classroom or planning an all school event. Please visit
the "Volunteer Opportunities" page on this website.
When is Popcorn Day?
Popcorn day is on the third Friday of every month. Our awesome Popcorn day
lady, Kelly Olsen will post signs around the school the Thursday before
Popcorn day to remind the kids to remember their quarters.
Where do I drop off Boxtops, soup labels, and Tyson A+ labels?
Boxtops, Campbells soup labels, and Tyson A+ labels can be brought to your
child's classroom and deposited in the white bucket in each room.
How do I recycle ink cartridges?
We have our eScrip cartridge/cell phone recycle bin in front of the school in
our bulletin board area.
