Thank you!
As the largest volunteer child advocacy association in the country, National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) provides parents and families with a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child. With your support last year, our Holly Spring Elementary PTA once again helped our children be safe, healthy, and successful. Here are 2008-2009 Holly Springs Elementary PTA program highlights ...
O'Holly Night was a wonderful time for our families. We raised $6,401 for our teachers to buy items for our classrooms. Our Book Fair and Read-A-Thon each raised over $3,500 while encouraging our students to read. We purchased a cheetah costume. Our students now show even more school pride with Cheeto our new mascot.
Cultural Arts enhanced our children's education with performances by Capital Opera, Jonathan Daniels, Mad Vocals, Rags to Riches, and Sones de Mexico. The Hospitality committee sponsored monthly events for our teachers and staff, sponsored teacher appreciation week, held a tissue tea for our kindergarten parents, and hosted dinners at the general PTA meetings. Our other Fundraisers provided over $15,000 for new murals, a scholarship for the 5th grade field trip, publication of the directory, cultural arts events, and so much more. The Cycle/Recycle Fair taught bike safety and encouraged recycling. Our first Science Fair was a great success with over 100 student participants. The PTA sponsored many other great programs and events such as the Talent Show, Safety Patrol, Student Store, Kids Voting, Reflections, and Character Education. There's so much planned for the 2009-2010 Holly Springs Elementary PTA. Take a look at the complete calendar of Events. |
