President's Message

Post date: Oct 1, 2012 9:10:43 PM

It seems a little late to say ‘Welcome Back’ to another school year when the month of September has gone by already! Still, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to the 13 new teachers in our division this year. It was a pleasure meeting you at the New Teachers’ Orientation.

The PTA Executive has already held their first meeting this year. One of the highlights was deciding to hold an Executive Retreat to work on leadership and governance skills. It is also our hope to strategize how to improve membership engagement. The PTA Council reps also met in September. They are great liaisons between the Executive and the staffs. They will be asking for your input (i.e. recreation ideas) and they will be providing information that they learn from PTA and MTS at staff meetings and on the staffroom bulletin board. Congratulations to the staff at North Memorial as they were the only staff to submit names (no duplicates) of school reps for every PTA committee. Way to get involved! Hopefully you signed-up for the free ‘Welcome Back’ barbeque on Thursday, October 4! This event is one of the many activities that your PTA Recreation & Wellness committee is hosting so that you can socialize with your colleagues in a fun & relaxing setting!

Now that you have found this website please keep ‘checking in’ for news and upcoming events!
