January Update from PTA Presidents

Dear Eastvalley Families,

It has been an exciting beginning to the year!  Snow & ice are unusual for Georgia, but it was fun to see!  We are excited about beginning the second half of the school year with lots of fun activities and programs!

As we begin 2010 it is also time to begin the search for next year’s PTA officers.  Please let one of us know if you are interested in leading the PTA in any role, Co-President, Co-Vice-President, and Secretary.  We look forward to hearing from you!

Also, If you aren’t currently receiving our weekly PTA e-mail updates, please go www.EastvalleyElementary.com and sign up. It’s simple and will keep you in the know.

Happy New Year,
Kristen Pyle & Tammy Feilmeier

Winter Update from PTA Presidents

Dear Eastvalley Students, Staff and Parents,

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday and had the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. Even when times seem tough, we are lucky here at Eastvalley to be part of such a fabulous group of teachers, staff, and families.

It’s always nice to reflect upon those things for which we are thankful. We are truly thankful for so many things and would like to mention a few. We would like to thank all the families that contributed to the food drive. These items will be greatly appreciated by the recipients.

We would also like to thank the teachers for their contributions to the raffles during Friends and Family luncheon. The students get such a thrill out of these special events with their teachers. Thanks as well to Ms. Wacker and Dr. Doolittle for agreeing to give up their positions for a day…this is always a big honor for the winners.

Last, but not least, thanks to the Food Dude and his staff for the wonderful Thanksgiving meal during the luncheon. We are very grateful to Mr. Mark Trott, for all that he does for us at Eastvalley.

Remember that the last day of school before the holidays is December 18th, and students return on Tuesday, January 5th. We would like to wish everyone a happy, safe and peaceful Holiday Season.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us co-president1@eastvalleypta.org or
co-president2@eastvalleypta.org

Let’s keep rolling…

From the PTA Co-Presidents

Dear Eastvalley Families,

Welcome back to our little school with a big heart.  It was wonderful to see all the familiar faces and to welcome some new ones at both orientations.  The school year is off to a wonderful start and everyone is falling into a nice routine.  A big thank you to all that have joined the PTA and made such generous donations. 

Remember, it’s never too late to join the PTA!  We encourage you to buy memberships for each person in your family for just $5 each.  Your $5 will help fund programs such as Art Print, Fall Festival, International Night, Eastvalley Reading Club (EVRC), Science Day, Math Club (E=MC2) and many other wonderful activities.  New this year, events such as Father/Son, Mother/Son and other fee-based events will offer a discounted charge for  PTA members only to show our appreciation.   Your membership also entitles you to discounts at some local merchants and national vendors.

Currently our membership is up 15% from last year and we have met two major goals set by the Georgia PTA and The National PTA--so let’s keep it going “we are on a roll”.

In addition to your PTA membership we need volunteers to help with the fun events and educational programs at our school.  Be sure to check out the Committee List to see where help is needed, and contact our Volunteer Coordinator Jyl Ozkan at ozkan@bellsouth.net or Michelle Zimmerman at zaczim3@aol.com if you have time and talents to donate!  It doesn’t have to be a big commitment, if you tell us how much time you have to offer we will find the right fit for you.

First call for volunteers will be our Fabulous Fall Festival…Saturday October 3rd 11:00-3:00.  You can sign up via the website, or by emailing Doreen Waugaman doreenwaugaman@hotmail.com.

This is going to be a great year!
