Dear Families:

My name is Elena Nieves and I will be serving as your PTSA president this year. We are trying to compile an e-mail database so that we can keep everyone informed of important issues and upcoming events.

If you would like your name to be removed from this list, please respond to this e-mail and request to be removed.

Attached you will find the minutes from our PTSA board meeting and the calendar and budget for next year. Please contact me if you have any questions. We also have a PTSA e-mail address for your suggestions and comments and general communication. wpk8_pta@bellsouth.net Please include the topic of your inquiry in the subject line so the appropriate person can respond to you promptly.

This year will be a challenging one, but it will be most worth it in the end when our beautiful school is finished. The success of the PTSA relies on its volunteers. I know how much we all have going on, but any little time you can give will help the entire school. Please let me know if you are interested in being added to the "volunteer opportunity" e-mail list. There are plenty of things that can be done from home or the office like making phone calls and sending e-mails.

Our main goal this year is community. Some of our children will be together for 9 -10 years and it is important to to know who their friends are and get to know the parents as well. For that reason, we will be hosting several family nights where everyone can get together and meet one another and have some good old fashioned fun.

You may receive this message a few times as we work out the kinks, please bear with us. If you know of anyone else who would like to be included in this list, please feel free to let us know.

I hope I get the chance to meet each and every one of you this year. Please introduce yourself to me if you see me around. Let's make this year the best by working together.

Sincerely,

Elena Nieves
