PTA
Parents, it is our hope that you enjoy and appreciate the work that our PTA puts in to our school to compliment the dedicated faculty and staff that make our school so special. We so appreciate all the parents who support us in our efforts! Without an active and engaged PTA, programs fall aside and our school suffers. There is always a reason to say no, there are plenty more reasons to say yes!
For 2019-2020 term, transition planning begins NOW, we need to fill the following roles on the Executive board. For more information, click on the links and contact PTA President, Jane Davis Boglione at Boglionefamily@yahoo.com

Consider volunteering on MLK Day by delivering Meals on Wheels—Next Monday put your community spirit into action by volunteering to deliver meals to some in the Alexandria community! We’ll meet up at 9:45am at school to pick up meals. We’ve got 8 routes for meal delivery. When you are finished delivering you can drop your containers at the pick-up location and be on your way. All routes should be done by noon if not earlier. Please contact Molly Groom at mollyghollis@icloud.com- if you are interested in covering a route. Team up with friends to do the delivery! What a great way to celebrate the MLK holiday!!
