ANNOUNCEMENTS AND DEADLINES
 
PTA GENERAL ASSOCIATION MEETING - APRIL 15 at 6:30 pm.   Election of Officers for 2008-2009.  If you are interested in being on the Waltrip PTA Board next year or in helping with any PTA activities, please contact Jan Rotenberry at jroten1903@aol.com.
 
Sometime during the week of April 21, the 5th Six Weeks Report cards will be sent home. 
 
PARENT VOLUNTEERS ARE REALLY NEEDED AND APPRECIATED- Wednesday, April 30- Friday, May 2 for TAKS testing.  Since the students cannot leave the classrooms during testing, a few parents are needed each day to help deliver lunch orders and snacks from approximately 10am - 2pm each day.  Parent volunteers must be VIP approved, must check in for a visitor pass in the front office and then report to Ms Curvey in the Health Academy. Please respond to me by email, so that I can let Ms Curvey know who is coming and when.  
 
Next (and Last) Choice Dress Day - May 7, 2008.  Volunteers will be needed as usual.
 
PTA will be running a "Concession Stand" each day during summer school which runs from June 5 - July 2.  The concession stand sells drinks and snacks to students who are enrolled in summer school at Waltrip.  It is only open for the morning break - 15 minutes each day.  I am looking for helpers on a daily or weekly basis.  It is a very busy 15 minutes each of the 20 days of summer school, but greatly appreciated by summer school staff and students alike.  This is a great opportunity for those of you who teach and are not able to help at Waltrip during the regular school year.  Please contact me at lvjennett@comcast.net if you can give a few minutes of your time during the first weeks of the summer.  Although this is called a fundraiser, it is primarily intended to be a service for the school.  Students not attending summer school can earn service hours for helping.   Thank you.
 
Waltrip PTA T-shirts are available at all times from Mrs. Staker in the ARTS Academy office.  The t-shirts are $10 for small, medium or large and $12 for XL and XXL.  Please send cash or checks payable to Waltrip PTA
