D.A.R.E. GraduationParents - Please note that D.A.R.E. Graduation for the 6th graders will take place in the Fall of 2008! Date to be announced!8th Grade Trip to Washington DC Good luck class of 2008! Greetings from the new PTO!Many, many thanks go out to the departing PTO; Shannon Donovan, Gwenth Wallace and Dierdre Morris for all their years of tireless attention to the endless details of running our schools Parent Teacher Organization. Their dedication to our school and our children is so greatly appreciated and we hope to carry on the many fine traditions they established and maintained.Your new board members are ; Co Chairmen Anne Marie Donahue, who is mom to Justin in 4th and Mariah in 1st, and Lucia Hayman, who is mom to Lee 4th and Addy 1st. It is with much appreciation and good fortune we thank Yanna O’Shaunghnessey, mom to John Henry in 6th,Thomas in 5th, and Donald in 3rd for returning as our treasurer. We are still in need of a secretary and look forward to hearing from any one who might be interested!! This a great position to be apart of all the many things the PTO does. There are lots of opportunities to be a part of your child’s education and enjoyment while at the Edgartown School. The PTO makes this an even more active experience and enables you to be involved and make a difference in your child’s life. Children whose parents are involved in their education excel, so take the opportunity to join in however you can in the coming year. There are unfortunately limited resources available to our school to accomplish all the many "extras" that can really build a school community. The Halloween Party which is always a memorable event along with Ice Cream Socials, Dances, and other Family fun events are just the beginning. Building our playground with much needed swings and a soon to be popular basketball hoop are things that really make a difference in a child’s everyday school life. Bringing great speakers to our school and helping out when unique opportunities arise makes our fund raising efforts worth while. Our departing board also made a huge difference to our Jr. High athletes by purchasing new uniforms as their parting gift! These are just a few of the PTO accomplishments and we invite you to join us in creating new events and striving to reach new goals for our children's betterment. We look forward to meeting everyone at our first meeting in September! Have a healthy happy and fun filled summer- Your PTO P.S. Keep collecting those box tops and be sure to visit their website for other painless ways to raise funds for our school by shopping on line at some of your favorite stores!! Every purchase earns us money!! Thanks! www.Boxtops4education.com Edgartown Eagles
