Letter from the President - October 2008
Dear Kasey,
Dear FSUS Families,
We are almost at the end of our first nine weeks of school. Over 450 members have joined FSUS PTSA and working together we have met our school-wide fundraising goal for our Fall Fundraiser. Thank you all for supporting PTSA, Florida High, our teachers and our students. We’re all in this together!
Our first General Assembly meeting on September 23rd was well attended. Members approved the budget, heard from our officers and committee chairs about current and future projects and events, recognized teachers who have been approved for Teacher Mini-grants, enjoyed an update from Principal Trafford about the current and possible future building projects on the FSUS campus, and shared a lovely dessert. Thanks to Madison Fitzpatrick, the newly elected president of K-Kids, for leading us in our Pledge of Allegiance, to Key Club for providing babysitting during the meeting and to Mrs. Searight and the cafeteria staff for providing beverages.
We have many volunteer opportunities coming up in October and over the course of the school year. If you have a specific committee you are interested in working with, please click here to sign up.
To volunteer to help out with upcoming PTSA events, see the section below entitled “Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities. Electronic sign-ups are available.
Remember that anyone who becomes a FSUS PTSA member by October 31st is eligible for our drawing to win back your student’s school activity fee. Also, teachers who are PTSA members and submit a mini-grant request by October 31 are eligible for a drawing to win a matching mini-grant. Both drawings will take place on November 1. Please contact Marie Aguirre at maguirre@tnc.org with any questions about the drawings. You will find both membership forms and mini-grant applications on our webpage.
Thanks again for all your support of FSUS PTSA!
Kasey Chapin
PTSA President
