So much to say

The beginning of the year is so crazy, and there is so much to cover.
Bounce Back to School will be held September 16th from 5:30to 8:00 p.m.
If you filled out a PTA membership form and marked that you are willing to help out, you may be getting an email or phone call soon from Shay T. to help at the event or before and after school selling tickets.
PTA General Meeting  will be held September 6th at 2:15 p.m. so we can include the staff.  Next months will be an evening meeting TBD.
Box Tops Coach Moskola does a Box Top Drive every year.  Please start collecting them now.  He usually collects them in January.
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) VRES is instituting a new program this year.  Ms. Dooley would love to have help with traffic control during the drop-off pick-up times before and after school.  We are looking for adult men who are willing to help.  The Watch D.O.G.S. program also encourages parent involvement in the classroom and around the school to increase safety and positive male role models for students.  Men will need to be fingerprinted through APS which costs $18.  Ms. Garcia, the Vice Principal, has the forms that are needed in the main office.  There will be a launch event soon, so keep a look out for announcements of a date and time.
Entertainment Books The school will be delivering Entertainment Books soon for students to sell.  Please know that not all fundraisers are initiated by the PTA.

Open House

Hopefully everyone received a call or an e-mail about Open House tonight.  PTA will be there to explain our organization, signing up members, and selling T-shirts.

Back to School

Hello Everyone, and welcome to the VRES PTA blog.  We hope everyone has had a smooth transition into the new school year.  Hopefully many of you have received a pamphlet about what PTA does.  If not please contact us at VRE_PTA_membership@q.com and we will be happy to send you an attachement of one.  We have had a number of people join already.  We hope to have many more.  We are offering coupons to offset the $7.00 cost of Membership.

Jason's Deli has given us coupons for a free kid's meal.  We also have coupons for the new cupcake shop on Golf Course in front of Peter Piper Pizza named Caked.

Membership forms should have been in your packets that were handed out at Meet the Teacher.  You can fill them out and turn them in with dues to your teacher or the front office.
