The
Tesago
PTA
welcomes
you
to
the
2009-2010
school
year.
Our
PTA
works
together
with
the
school
administration
and
staff
to
foster
an
environment
conducive
to
successful
learning
for
our
children.
Becoming
part
of
the
PTA
allows
you
to
be
part
of
your
child's
school
in
a
way
that
adds
tremendous
value.
Many
of
the
dollars
we
raise
go
directly
back
into
the
classroom
through
our
phenomenal
Arts
in
Education
program.
This
program
allows
us
to
provide
a
wide
range
of
cultural
and
educational
activities
that
enrich
our
children's
lives.
Our
PTA
is
strong
due
to
our
generous
and
active
parent
community.
Many
thanks
to
all
of
you
who
give
your
time
and
financial
support
to
help
our
PTA
succeed.
We
understand
that
many
families
are
unable
to
commit
their
time
to
volunteering,
but
your
can
still
be
supportive
of
this
learning
environment
by
joining
the
PTA.
If
you
are
interested
in
volunteering
at
our
PTA
events,
please
contact
us
at
TesagoPTA@gmail.com.
Being
a
PTA
member
provides
you
with
the
opportunity
to
be
informed,
involved
and
educated
in
your
child’s
school
and
activities.
As
your
PTA
President,
it
is
my
goal
to
keep
Tesago
families
involved
and
informed.
I
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
visit
our
web
site to
receive
important
information
and
updates
about
PTA
events.
I
also
encourage
you
to
join
the
Parent
Portal
to
receive
important
notices
from
the
Shenendehowa
school
district.
The
partnership
of
the
Tesago Elementary
PTA,
administrators
and
staff,
your
parent
involvement,
and
a
quality
education
is
a
recipe
for
creating
successful
children
who
will
excel
in
the
future.
Your
PTA
is
committed
to
a
year
of
service
to
you
and
your
child,
and
I
look
forward
to
meeting
you
and
getting
you
involved.
