Last Friday after school we had a GREAT teacher/new PTA board meeting at Kari's house. I don't know if it was the margheritas or what but I love that the line of communication was opened and we as parents have a better understanding of what the teachers need. Who knew that our computer lab was bogged down with tech issues? And how fortunate are we that so many parents in town can help with that problem? So many great ideas were exchanged. I truly hope we can keep this line of communciation open and really work together as the Parent Teacher Association we are supposed to be. I have very high hopes people!!

Cal State PTA Convention Post

it's been about 2 weeks since the convention - and again I didn't want to start talking about being the pres until I "technically" was but this is getting kind of silly. So I spent 2 full days in workshops that were geared towards being the new president - one saying I was a "precious jewel" (I milked that one a bit). As irrelevant as it would sound to the non-PTA/volunteer person, I feel like it was such an informational weekend! I left with a fired up feeling for all PTA stuff - crazy I know - but it was inspirational! Great weekend! AND THEN... I had our council PTA installation meeting tonight and all the talk about our site and what a big job, etc.... has kind of freaked me out a bit! I feel like my friends (that coincidentally are on the board) would laugh over my apprehension SO why am I nervous? Hmmm... Everything will be great! This is going to be fun! RIGHT?!?!
