I am a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions! That’s not to say I haven’t already forgotten about a few of them. Resolutions are a promise to yourself and sometimes to others. Your PTA can make resolutions as well. The mid-year is when we need to check in on ourselves as an association and make sure our projected plans are either still on track or determine if circumstances have necessitated a change in course. A mid-year check up is all about ensuring that the work of your PTA is on the right path for a successful second half of the school year so we can all remember our resolution to keep building a bridge together.

Sincerely,
Theresa Rogers
President, Duval County Council of PTAs and PTSAs
