President's letter-Meeting schedule

From the Presidents.....


Check out our meeting schedule ....


(Alone we do so little, together we can do so much!)

We would like to welcome you to a new school year and invite you to join the Cutchogue East PTA. For those of you that are not familiar with the organization, the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is a nationwide group that advocates for our children.

At the Cutchogue East School, our PTA provides a number of programs each year that is simply NOT in the school budget. Examples include: the book fair, summer camp scholarships for qualifying students, science fair, student socials, 6th grade luncheon, 6th grade graduation along with a slide show, and kindergarten orientation. In addition we also fund educational programs which include theater, the arts and science and history speakers and demonstrations provided during school hours. We supply educational materials and equipment to the classrooms through our mini-grant program. We are able to fund these school programs and activities through our large fundraiser "Prestige Wrapping Paper and Accessories". Please support us by participating. Box Tops for Education help provide additional funding for our programs; the class who collects the most box tops receives a pizza party.

We would like to hear some new ideas and see some new faces. Please join us at our monthly meetings from 7-8pm in the Cutchogue East library. (Please check the school calendar for the dates, the PTA website @ www.mc-pta.org or our PTA bulletin board which is located to your right as you enter through the main entrance of your child's school).

If you have a spare hour or two we could use your help. Please don't feel guilty if you can not volunteer, just your membership of only $5.00 would help out immensely.

My co-president and I have been involved with PTA for 4 and 10 years, respectively, and we enjoy planning events and providing our children with fun and educational activities. We would love to hear your ideas! Join us at our meetings.

Thank you for your support! We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.

Enjoy the school year.

Sincerely,

Darla Doorhy PTA Co-President

Aileen Rosin PTA Co-President
