A Big Thank You

Wow! What a great couple of weeks we’ve had. There are so many of you we’d like to thank for giving of your time and talents to help us have a successful September.

First of all thank you to Kristi Ohman for organizing our room parents. We love our Room Parents! Kristi will have reminders for all who volunteered at Back to School Night. Thank you parents for signing up to help your student’s teachers.

Thanks to Cory Fisher for leading our Health and Safety committee in celebrating Green Ribbon Month. The students of Art City were recognized in the local paper and a crew from a TV station joined us as well. There were over 500 students that participated in our “Walk to School” day. Thanks parents for encouraging and donning your sneakers too.

Thanks to Jennifer Follette, Deanna Lindsey and of course our own beloved librarian Angel Pearce for a spectacular book fair. The Book Fair committee put in some long hours and we greatly appreciate them. A few highlights of our Safari week included visits from the in-house gorilla, the reading mouse, a BIG boa constrictor (wrapped around Mr. Rowe!) and lots and lots of great books.

We hope the SEP night was successful for our teachers and we thank Kelli Cutler and the SEP Dinner Committee for feeding our teachers and staff so well. Yum!

When you visit Art City on Fridays you’ll notice lots and lots of pink and grey t-shirts and sweatshirts. WOW do they look great. Jami Welch has put in a considerable amount of hours in making sure our Elementary Students are the best looking kids around. A big thanks to Jami for all her work and perseverance. There will be one more t-shirt order placed so if you are interested get your money to the school as soon as possible.

As you can tell we could not function as a PTA board without ALL your help. We appreciate our teachers for participating and supporting our activities, Mark Warner for setting up and taking down many, many tables, Mr. Rowe for making it fun, and for our parents who LOVE to be involved.
Now…on to October!
