Would you consider being all that you could be?

The year is winding down fast and there is still so much to do! We have the upcoming International Festival (April 30) and we will close out this very busy academic year celebrating the 40th anniversary of Laurel Woods with our 40th Anniversary Carnival (May 30).  For both of these we need volunteers. Please consider and contact us at lwespta@gmail.com

Also, we need leaders for the upcoming 2014-15 school year. We need dedicated and committed parents and guardians to step up and seriously think about volunteering to keep this PTA thriving. It has come such a long way and we can't let it die off.  We have brought the students of LWES many great after school programs (Girls on the Run, Lego Bricks 4 Kidz, etc.) , assemblies, fun family events (movie nights, International Festival, Back 2 School Olympic Picnic, etc.), we have sponsored the Science Fair. . . and the list goes on.

Many of our parents will leave this year and begin serving with PTAs at middle schools. It is imperative that we keep Laurel Woods PTA flourishing--if not for the sake of the school but for the sake of your child and many other children.  This is where they are getting their foundation. By the time they reach college age, the competition will be fierce. And it all starts right here, right now.

We need serious consideration for the following positions:

President - Will preside at all meetings of the association and executive board; will coordinate work of the officers and the committees in order to achieve the objectives of the association; will be a member ex officio of all committees except the nominating committee.

 

First Vice President - Will act as the aide to the president and will perform the duties of the president in the absence or inability of the president to serve. Will perform other duties as assigned by the board of directors.

 

Second Vice President - Will fulfill the duties of the first vice president during the absence or inability of the first vice president to serve. Will perform other duties as assigned by the board of directors.

 

Secretary - Will record the minutes of all meetings of the association and the executive board; will maintain a current copy of the bylaws and membership list; and will perform other designated duties as assigned.

 

Treasurer - Will be responsible for keeping an accurate account of all funds and the receipts of expenditures; will make disbursements of monies authorized by the president, executive board, or association in accordance with the adopted budget; will present a written financial statement at each executive board and general membership meeting; will also be responsible to make sure appropriate tax forms are submitted.

 

2 Delegates - Shall represent LWES at the PTA Council meetings, which are held monthly, and report back to the PTA Executive Board at the monthly meeting.

Please carefully consider doing more next year. Your child, my child and other children will thank you.
