I would like to “THANK “ the Germain St. PTA Executive Board for all of the hard work, outstanding team efforts and kindness that each of you potrayed during this very large event. Your devotion was beyond anything I could have wished for. You made the evening a success.
In addition, many “Thank Yous” go out to the large number of volunteers that assisted in making the evening effortless. We could not have done this without your support.

The evening began with a “Scavenger Hunt”. The hunt involved all the parents and children of Germain. The object “Get to Know Your School”, and I believe many of you did. You are now familiar with where the “Snack Shack”, “Reunion Gate” and the “Parent Center are located. Congratulations, to everyone who figured out the 10 word sentence.
Spaghetti Dinner was Great! The chefs we brought in from Italy really knew thier way around a kitchen. Even though they only had a three burner stove. Everyone had a wonderful time spinning thier spaghetti on thier fork, and taking time to eat with friends and family.
Our Association Meeting kicked off the start of an amazing year to come.  If this is any indication of the Parent Support we are going to experience this year, I am “excited”.

Thank you in advance to everyone who took the time to drop a check in the “Direct Donation” Box. You support will help continue the efforts of the PTA, when it comes to sponsoring family and student enrichment.
I look forward to our success for the new year and I would like to remind you that our “Magic of Membership” is now in full swing. Don’t hesitate to join the PTA and get your childs class to a minimum of 100%. Help your child’s class when an Ice Cream party, sponsored by the PTA.

In closing I would like to give a very special “THANK YOU” to two outstanding Germain Family Members…First to Mrs. Ugarte, who not only allows me to follow-through with all of my crazy ideas, but always supports the efforts of the PTA,  second I would like to give a very special “THANK YOU” to Dorothy. If it wasn’t for Dorothy volunteering her time we would not be able to have these great events. Thank You, Dorothy you are amazing.

I look forward to seeing everyone on October 2, 2009 for our evening “Magic of Membership” Show. Tickets are limited so order your tickets today. Adult Tickets are $5.00, and a child’s ticket is $3.00.
Thank you again, and remember one small act of kindness, can change a child’s life “FOREVER”

Respectfully,
Dawn Smith
PTA President

Our Direct Donation Campaign has begun. On January 26, 2009 the Germain PTA sent out a flyer to all families encouraging everyone to participate in this school wide event. Our goal is to have 100% participation. That means every family must take the initiative and get involved. Your contribution will benefit your child on many different levels, so make the TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION TODAY.

The PTA is happy to talk to you in the evenings and on the weekends. Just email us at germainpta@yahoo.com, and post your comments and when it is a good time to contact you.

Thank you again for everything you do for the CHILDREN at Germain Street School!
