Saccarappa PTA

Tonight was my first ever PTA meeting! We had great refreshments to celebrate that event :), but most importantly there were lots of valuable ideas.
There turn out to be more functions for the PTA than I had heard before. I am glad it's taking shape, and I would love to contribute to certain work that needs to be done. There seems to be a lot of it too.
Among the subcommittees that have been identified are: fundraiser, of course; events, volunteers, acknowledgment (aka teacher support/appreciation), and something less defined, like community service or outreach.
I feel strongly about educating other parents, (when they ask for help), and healthy kids/green environment stuff. Not sure where that will be.
We have also agreed to follow up soon, in two weeks to further define and delegate the jobs. Please contact me for details if you would like to join. It sounds very promising.

Some of us have found themselves in a situation when they - voluntarily or involuntarily - are staying increasingly home, and if you feel like getting involved in community life on your terms, you may find this resource useful:
