PTA January Updates

January 2023

Greetings from your PTA Presidents

We hope everyone had a good long weekend! It was so nice seeing families during the winter concerts last week.

This year, the PTA is introducing Paw Print Paths at Seely Place and Greenville. This PTA fundraiser will give families the opportunity to put their mark on our schools by adding a personalized paw print to the walkway at your school. Kids and adults alike can take pride in putting their names on our schools. To make this dream a reality, we are looking for someone who can help organize the event - selling the paw prints and helping coordinate a team to paint the walkways at each school. Help us make this fun new fundraiser happen!

As always, email us with any questions, feedback, or ideas.

Have a great week!

Emily Domingo (SP) & Amy Lee (GV)
