Dear Parents:
Welcome to what will be an exciting and wonderful year at
Pennekamp! Our school is an
extraordinary place, where the teachers and staff,
led by Principal
As a non-profit organization with several million members nationwide, PTA actively advocates for federal, state, and local laws that protect the education and welfare of children and families. At our own campus, Pennekamp’s PTA is a group of parents and educators who work hard throughout the school year to achieve a common vision – a quality educational experience for all of our children. As you are aware, PTA members contribute financial resources and/or volunteer their time and expertise to ensure the success of that vision. Pennekamp is a better place because of the commitment our parents show every day! The PTA is excited to sponsor a number of important activities and programs again this year. This year’s Executive Board welcomes your participation in PTA. There is a volunteer opportunity for everyone, whether you work full-time, part-time or at home all the time!
As you settle into the school year, please put PTA membership and a donation to MBEF’s annual appeal at the top of your ‘to-do’ list. Give thought to your financial commitment and give generously. PTA is a membership organization and our strength is in our numbers. Working together we can bring important enrichment activities to our campus - programs which cannot exist without your donations. We look forward to a great year!
Join us at our first
PTA meeting of the year on Thursday, September 17 at
