Powell Families,

Welcome to another promising year at Powell GT Magnet Elementary!  My name is Christina Creech and I am honored to be serving as your 2010-2011 PTA President. 

Last year as a PTA we were able to accomplish so much!  We brought to our children the Artists in Residence Program.  The PTA created & organized the yearbook as well as Fall & Spring portrait sessions.  We held a Fall and Spring Book Fair, 3 Fantastic Families Pancake Breakfasts, and our First Annual Community Day.  As a PTA, we sponsored Teacher and Staff appreciation events such as the annual Welcome Back Breakfast, Holiday Luncheon, Teacher Appreciation Week, and the End of Year Luncheon.  We also held our first Free Clothing Exchange, which we plan to do again in the fall and spring this school year. 

Your 2010-2011 Board of Directors (myself as President, Stephanie Ford as Vice President, JesSanne Johnson as Secretary, and Dawn Thompson as Treasurer) have had a busy summer preparing for this school year.  We are looking forwarding to accomplishing even more than we have in the past.  We need your help to do so!  We plan to bring back Family Bingo Nights and have Powell Spirit Night once a month in addition to Report Card Rewards Nights.  We will be starting a Walking Club as well as assisting with the outdoor theater Mr. Miller has been working hard on over the summer.


 

We need a few good volunteers to take on the following duties:

·        Yearbook Coordinator

·        Child Entertainment Coordinator

·        Family BINGO Night Coordinator

·        Community Engagement Committee Coordinator

·        PTA Membership & Engagement Coordinator

·        Webmaster or Mistress to keep our site updated

·        Teracycle Program Coordinator

·        Teacher Appreciation Week Coordinator

·        PR Coordinator to submit press releases & promote Powell

·        We also need committee members for our Dad’s Committee (courtyard/outdoor theater project) as well as our Community Exchange (Free Clothing Exchange,  Ride Exchange, Parent workshops)

Please contact any member of our Board of Directors for more information on these or any other volunteer opportunities.  You can reach me at school every Tuesday morning until noon, by phone at 919-622-2267, or via email at powellptapresident@gmail.com.

Thank you for all you do!  I am greatly looking forward to working closely with many of you this school year!
