Dear Parents,
The Forest Ridge Elementary School (FRES) Parent Teacher Association (PTA)extends a warm welcome to those of you who are new to our school, and a “welcome back” to all those returning.
We would like to invite you to join the FRES PTA. Your membership will entitle you to:
Feel Connected. There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school and to discover the resources that are available to help you be a better parent.
Real Improvement. By getting involved at your child’s school you’ll be part of the solution, helping to make positive changes for the school, students, and family life.
Experience Growth. By volunteering with your PTA, you can put your skills and hobbies to good use for a good cause.
Super Programs. Our PTA offers a variety of programs that benefit us all:
• After-School Programs • $50/Teacher Contribution • Dad’s Club
• Family Movie Night • Cultural Art Assemblies • Staff Appreciations
• Summer Workbooks • Turn Off the TV Week • Walk-n-Talk
• Carnival • Ice-Cream Social • Student Directory
• Yearbooks • Scholarships …and so much more
Parent Involvement. Over 30 years of research confirms that Parent Involvement is the number-one, greatest predictor of student success!
Tap into a Network. PTA functions provide opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, build rapport, and discuss parenting issues that are on your mind.
Action! By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be a role model, demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
Please join your PTA by completing the attached membership form and returning it to the FRES front office or to your child’s teacher. Your FRES PTA membership includes:Your name entered for a drawing for a $25.00 gas card and a $25.00 Weis grocery card
Your involvement with the PTA will benefit everyone, but the greatest reward is seeing the smile on your child's face when you are involved in his or her world. Let’s make this our best year ever!
Sincerely,
