Happy Tuesday! We hope you enjoyed the long weekend!
With the school year underway, we hope you and your students are enjoying the activities provided by the PTA! Enrollment in After School Clubs exceeded our expectations, and we are so happy to have kids back at school learning and having fun in these clubs! Yoga and mindfulness programs were a success at Greenville and are underway now at Seely Place. We hope these new skills help our kids learn to manage challenges and transitions as well as reduce stress and anxiety.
At the PTA, we make these activities possible through a wide variety of fundraisers. If you haven't already, check out these new and ongoing fundraisers!
If you have any ideas, questions, or feedback, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to hearing from you! As always, we thank you for your support.

There are many ways to get involved in the PTA and not all require a huge time commitment. For those who feel they don't have a lot of time to give or for those who may just be interested in dipping a toe into the PTA, consider the The 1 Day Club! Members of this club will be called upon to help with quick, one time activities. To join The 1 Day Club, click here.

Superintendent Search
As the Board of Education begins its search for a new superintendent under the guidance of Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA), feedback from as many community members as possible is essential in directing the search for a highly qualified candidate to lead the district. Please share your feedback in two ways: SURVEY and COMMUNITY FORUMS.

Now that the weather is better, please don't idle. Idling for longer than 10 seconds creates more CO2 than turning off & restarting the engine. Don't forget, the perimeters of our schools are no-idling zones. Your children & future generations thank you!
Have an idea to share with the Green Team or want to join? Please email us.
