Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year!I am thrilled and honored to serve as
president of the Mattituck-Cutchogue Elementary School Parent Teacher
Association (PTA).We have an
outstanding group of parents this year serving as our PTA officers, committee
chairpersons, and volunteers.Officers
include: vice president, Natalie Conroy; treasurer, Lisa Bunker; and secretary,
Jeanine Warns.The National PTA is the
largest volunteer child advocacy association in the nation, working to provide
a powerful voice for every child and resources to enrich and enhance the
educational experience of our youth.http://pta.org/
Our district is very fortunate to have talented and
professional teachers, dedicated parents, a supportive community, and of
course, amazing children!The
Mattituck-Cutchogue Elementary PTA is comprised of parents, teachers, school
administrators, and community members who work collaboratively to provide
programs, events, and educational materials that strengthen our children’s
learning experiences.Some of the
numerous programs sponsored by our PTA include: the book fair, science fair,
kindergarten orientation, student socials, 6th grade graduation,
student assemblies, theater programs, and scholarships for students in
need.In addition, the PTA supplies
educational materials and equipment for the classrooms through our mini-grant
program.The PTA heads up the Box Tops
for Education and the Labels for Education (Campbells Soup labels) Fundraisers
as well as our annual Prestige Wrapping Paper Fundraiser and our new Outdoor
Family Movie Night Fundraiser at Strawberry Fields. All of the items donated to the school by the
PTA are not funded through the school budget and, therefore, would not be
possible without the generosity and volunteerism of our members and sponsors.
The PTA is only as strong as its members.We encourage you to join our wonderful
organization.The annual membership fee
is $7.00 for an individual or teacher membership, and $12.00 for a family
membership (two adults).Membership
