PTSA Presidents Message: May 2009
With the end of the school year quickly approaching we would like to thank all of our parent volunteers for their countless hours they have given our students and staff. It has been amazing to see so many of you give your time and talents to our High School and Community. It is because of you that EGR is clearly one of best places to live and raise a family.
Congratulations to the Class of 2010!! Enjoy graduation and all of the festivities that are part of this important milestone.
Please continue to keep Janice Yates and her family in your thoughts and prayers as she goes through chemotherapy. We are all thinking of you Janice!
Mark Webb and Sharon Pollice will be retiring at the end of this school year. They have both been so instrumental in the success of our Music and Art departments, respectively. Good luck to both of you as you begin another chapter of life.
The PTA Council Spring Luncheon was May 11. A big congratulations to Winnie Brooks, the recipient of the PTA Council Member of the Year Award and Mark Webb, recipient of the Community Member of the Year Award.
At our final meeting of the year, May 13 we voted on and approved the purchase of 1-2 benches. Jenny Fee suggested we purchase a bench for the inside of the school by the front office as many students like to gather here at lunch hour and before and after school. We plan to order them and have in place by September.
We installed our new officers for the 2010-2011 school year. Officers are as follows:
- Co-Presidents: Jane Mikelic and Mary Reed Kelly
- Co-Vice Presidents: Allison Bok and Stacey Levitt
- Treasurer: Janice Foster
- Asst. Treasurer: Linda Fotieo
- Corresponding Secretary: Sandy Carroll
- Recording Secretary: Susan Merlotti
Congratulations!
