Here's another great installation I found on my computer and just had to share:
Besides I know others out there will want to jump over to Patty's website (link above) and check out some other great installation of officers - ideas!
GIFTS OF CANDY - INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS - CEREMONY
The installation of PTA officers is always significant because these people have accepted the responsible positions in your PTA and will devote themselves to promoting the welfare of children in your school. In grateful recognition of their willingness to serve, I ask that the newly elected officers of ______ PTA join me now.
While this is an important ceremony, it need not be a solemn occasion. I have a gift for each officer as I install them that I believe will have a special meaning:
As I call your name, please come to the front of the room, accept your gift and stand here while the other officers come up to join you, then we'll have a photo taken of the new officers.
Historian: (Almond Joy candy bar) ---(name) -- To you comes the joy of preserving this year’s achievements and accomplishments.
Parliamentarian (Life Savers candy) ---(name) -- As parliamentarian, you can be a life saver when questions arise about proper procedures.
Correspondence Secretary (Bit of Honey candy) ----(name) -- In all communications you will bring good will and a bit of sweetness.
Recording Secretary (Whatchamacalit candy bar) ---(name) -- Your duty to keep accurate records of the PTA business will keep you busy, but if you’re careful with taking minutes you won’t have to get home after a meeting and think, “Now, whatchamacalit made what motion?â€
Treasurer ($100,000 candy bar) ---(name) -- As custodian of the funds of this organizations, you will be responsible for all the money - this will see that there is always a balance.
Vice President (Nestle’s Crunch candy bar) ---(name) -- As vice-president, you will offer support and assistance to the president, and in a crunch may be called on to preside at a meeting.
President (Hershey’s with Almonds candy bar) ---(name) -- This has long been recognized as the leader of candy bars, just as you will be looked to by the PTA members for leadership this year... and you will notice that this is the Hershey’s with Almonds, because you have to be a little nutty to take this job!
School Principal: I ask that the principal come join us at this time - representing his/her office and the entire faculty. It is appropriate that you join us to signify the cooperation necessary between the PTA leadership and the school. It requires the principal, the teachers, parents and community all working together to create an atmosphere that will provide quality education for all the children. Please accept these “candy kisses†from the PTA membership for you and the faculty to share.
In accepting these positions of responsibility, will each of you fulfill the duties of your office to the best of your ability? If so, answer “I willâ€.
You have heard the pledge of these officers as your PTA leaders. As members, do you likewise pledge to them your loyalty and support? If so, answer “I willâ€.
May this opportunity for service unite the forces of home, school and community and bring all of you the joy found in working together for a common purpose: to promote the well-being of all children.
