Thanks to all of you
for committing to help make 08-09 a great year!
There are still
some positions available for next year. Have you thought about
volunteering? We are all here for our children, and it’s a lot of fun. So please, get involved if you can. It
is only a couple of hours a month, and the rewards are wonderful!
The
following positions are still available:
Fall
Fundraiser VP Golf
Tournament VP
If anyone is
interested in holding one of these positions, please contact Tiffany
Hannah at 813-546-5485 or via email at fourkidsma@aol.com .
Recycling
A Recycling program for the Academy will be in place. In addition to this, every effort is being
made to reduce the amount of paper used for items such as the agendas.
Fall
Fundraising Campaign
Sally Foster will
now only be done online. This will not only be simpler, but
there not be any paper forms to process! We will tell you more about this in
the near future, and more items than Sally Foster may be available for
sale/purchase.
Fall
Festival
Plans are already
being made to organize our festival for next year. We look forward to
incorporating our new gymnasium, and include some old fashion community
involved booths, activities and maybe some rides.
School Directories
The school directories
are compiled over the summer. Please help us make sure your
information is correct before summer break. Efforts are currently being
made to get our PA executive team in place in time for printing.
End-of-School Year
Finally, there
are some end-of-school year items that will be purchased with PA funds (such
as graduation commencement items). Once the final balance is calculated,
there will be a vote to decide what the school needs purchased and
the money will be applied towards it.
Heartfelt Gratitude
A Special Thanks goes to
all who served on the committee this school year. Your involvement was invaluable!
Cynthia Martin and Sherry Deardoff also personally thanked each and every
member of the PA executive team. Additionally, they thanked all of
those parents that stepped up and volunteered in whatever ways they could
this year.
The
children of the committee members were brought over and asked if "they
knew what their parent did this year". The predominant answers were "no, not
really" except for a few extremely wise …dare
I say, gifted ones... who were smart enough to answer
"everything"!
Thanks again to everyone for making this
year such a success. It is the involvement of our wonderful families that makes
the Academy at the Lakes such an exceptional school for all of our children.
Have a great summer!
