HELLO EVERYONE. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME TO POST BUT I HAVE LOVED READING EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE ELSE WRITES ABOUT. IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL HELP TO ME. THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR TO BE PTA PRESIDENT BUT I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED SINCE MY DAUGHTER STARTED KINDERGARTEN AND SHE IS NOW IN THE 4TH GRADE. MY QUESTION IS THIS. I HAVE SOME WONDERFUL FRIENDS THAT ARE STARTING TO VOLUNTEER WITH THE PTA AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR EFFORTS. I SAW THE DIFFERENT THINGS FOR TEACHER SURVIVAL. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF SOME NEAT LITTLE THINGS TO DO FOR VOLUNTEERS. OUR SCHOOL HAS A PEP RALLY EVERY 6 WEEKS AND THE CHILDREN ARE GIVEN AWARDS. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ON THE LINE OF AN AWARD FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE PARENTS THAT VOLUNTEER. "THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARENTS TIME". NOT SURE WHAT I WANT TO DO. ANY IDEAS???
ALSO I HAVE READ DIFFERANT POST ABOUT SANTA SHOPS. I HAVE DONE THIS IN OUR SCHOOL FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS AND I AM PLANNING ANOTHER. MY SISTER OWNS A GIFT SHOP IN TOWN AND SHE GATHERS ME ALL OF HER CHEAPER ITEMS THAT SHE NO LONGER WANTS AND THAT IS WHAT I SELL. THESE ARE NOT ALWAYS CHEAP ITEMS BUT OF COURSE SHE SELLS THEM CHEAP TO US. I JUST WANTED TO PASS THAT ALONG TO SOME OF YOU THAT DO THE SHOP. YOU MAY WANT TO ASK A FEW BUSINESSES IN YOUR TOWN. THEY MAY HAVE THINGS THE CHILDREN WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO BUY. I ALWAYS GET WONDERFUL COMMENTS FROM TEACHERS AND PARENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE NICE ITEMS AND I BUY THEM FOR $1.00 AT THE MOST.
I REALLY ENJOY THIS SITE AND I HOPE ALL YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL SCHOOL YEAR.
THANKS..
