Yes 27 people is a start and we would love to have many many more participants but if each of us attendees took one small piece of information out of that meeting - just look how much each of us has gained. I had a professor tell me once if you only help one person gain knowledge it is better than none.

I thought the meeting was great. I was happy to see so many people there also. I think that 16 partents and 11 teachers is a great start. I encourage each person who attended to attend the next meeting also but this time ask someone else to come with you. I think that 54 people would be even better. I think it was a great help for me to help explain what a bully is and give examples to my daughter. Thank you to everyone involved! The PTT is a very positive thing for our school and community.

PTT is proving to be a rewarding and positive networking resource between the parent, school and community.
The wide variety of informational presentations covering topics of concern to children, parents, school and community has been catalyst to lively discussion. As a result of these presentations and the open discussion that follows, we are learning more about each other and gaining an understanding through our sharing of experiences via the parent, school and community point of view.
Due to the positive nature of the PTT, I sense an increase of trust and partnership as we search for common pathways to cultivate a safe and positive community for our children to learn and grow. Perception barriers are broken through the open communication. Confession is the first step toward solving a problem.
For those who truly are seeking constructive outcomes within our collective capabilities to change, PTT is a venue to bring comments and concerns into the light of day in a safe, caring and nurturing forum.
PTT is about children. PTT is about parenting. PTT is about educating. PTT is about community. PTT is about you. You can make a difference.

I heard Alex the next night and he is getting better each time with his speaking. By the time Atlanta gets here look out!
Donations have already been promised for the auction so I think that will go well.
Alyssa once again did an outstanding job. The information is useful to EVERYONE!
Please parents take time for you child. Listen to them, get involved in their lives, discipline them, instruct them, love them. Parenthood doesn’t come with a job description but these items i feel are part of the job. Yes they take a lot of our time but they are worth it. Soon they will be gone and you will miss them.

Great meeting again! Jerry and Alex have a great curious bone. What a great idea. And Alex…. you spoke very well and answered questions without thinking twice. Good job!!!
The auction incentive idea is a great one. Our community supports the school so well I know that donations of items are going to roll in. Thank you in advance to everybody who contributes. And it doesn’t have to be big things. Just think about what would make a student happy!
Alyssa’s information is always eye-opening! And Jennifer thank you for taking the interest in our school!
