Parent Teacher Association coming to The Village School

On January 10, 2008 at 6:30 P.M., there will be a meeting for all parents and staff of The Village School who are interested in forming a Parent Teacher Association organized under the Texas Congress of Parents and Teachers (Texas PTA).  Through the PTA, we hope to provide greater support for our school and expand upon opportunities for parents to participate in our school community.  Everyone is welcome to join, attend meetings, volunteer for committees, and participate in educational and community-building events.  Once we have established the PTA, future contributions made through such successful endeavors as our magazine drive and gala may be claimed as charitable deductions.  And, as with the current Parent Teacher Advisory Board, all fund-raising conducted by the PTA will directly serve our children and The Village School.  Look for more detailed information to come in the mail over the holiday break!
