CPA and PTA are currently seeking nominees for participation on their respective 2010-2011 boards and committees. Please consider participating as a board member for either parent association next year.
PTA touches the lives of every student and family at Terrace Park. We are fortunate to have many dedicated parents at our school who are willing to step up into leadership roles both as PTA board members and as committee chairs for the many school-wide activities made possible each year by our PTA. Events like Math Night, Young Authors Day, Science Night, Skate Night, Pod Swim Parties, and many, many more come together each year because of parents’ generosity with their time and talents. Please help to ensure these activities and all the other support provided by PTA can continue without interruption. PTA’s current President and Vice President are able to continue in their positions through 2010-2011. PTA Board is currently recruiting for Treasurer and Secretary, as well as the following committee chairs: chess club, awards, and activities. April 9, 2010 is the next scheduled general meeting for PTA and board members will be voted in by the membership at that meeting.
CPA board is currently recruiting for the position of Vice President. All other current office-holders are able to continue with their positions through 2010-2011. CPA board’s mission is to “communicate, participate, and advocate” by working and meeting with legislators, school and district administrators, and other parent advocacy groups to ensure both continued funding and support for gifted education programs and specific support for the families and teachers in the Challenge program by providing funding for curriculum enhancement and social opportunities and outlets for our membership. Some specific CPA activities include the annual summer picnic for new and returning Challenge families, coordinating Challenge families’ participation in Gifted Education Day in Olympia each year, support for the annual WAETAG conference attended by our teachers, and various special events and appearances by guest speakers throughout the school year. May 18, 2010 is the next scheduled general meeting for CPA and board members will be voted in by the membership at that meeting.
If you can make a commitment to serve on either board or chair a committee for the 2010-2011 school year, please contact Ginger Everhart.
Thank you for your consideration and support of all our kids!
The CPA Board is excited to begin the 2010-2011 school year with all of you in the Challenge Program. We will continue to share important information and opportunities on our Challenge Parent Association website – The Challenge Spot.
