JOYCE KILMER PTA MEMBERSHIP KIT
JOIN THE PACK ! JOIN KILMER PTA! THE KILMER CUBS NEED YOUR
SUPPORT !

The Joyce Kilmer PTA welcomes you to another exciting school year! We hope that the 2011-2012 school year proves to be a time of new beginnings and learning experiences for you and your children.

The PTA depends on volunteers. Some volunteers can help in a classroom with a party or trip, some can only give an hour at a book fair, and some may only be able to help from their home – making phone calls,
sending emails, etc.

When your child sees you volunteering for the school, they know you are interested in what they do, and realize you feel education is important!

PTA membership is open to anyone – parents, guardians, grandparents, and even community members - who care about the children of Joyce Kilmer School. We welcome and invite your participation.

In this kit you will find: a letter from our PTA president, Joelynn Owens; a membership form, a volunteer form, a room parent form and a school directory form. You will also find a schedule of PTA meetings and events
and contact information for the Kilmer PTA Executive Board.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve your children and our wonderful school. We look forward to seeing you at all of our meetings and functions.

Sincerely,

Joyce Kilmer PTA
