Urgent Need! High Value! Short Term!
The PTA needs a Nominating Committee again this year to help us find terrific candidates for the PTA Board for the 2019-2020 school year. The charge of the nominating committee is to recognize and recruit the most qualified people available for elected PTA positions as defined by the local PTA or council standing rules.
Without a nominating committee, we will not be successful in finding terrific candidates for our PTA board next year. Without a PTA board, we can't run our fabulous PTA Programs. Please consider making this short-term commitment to ensure the success of our PTA next year! |

In response to our members' survey feedback from last year, the PTA has added a Parent Education portion to our General Membership meeting. Most families wanted to learn more about our ISA (International Spanish Academy) program. If you are wondering what is ahead for our students in middle school and high school and how our current curriculum is tied to a 12-year program, this is your opportunity to learn more. The agenda after the ISA presentation will include:
• Update from Camp Kindness Counts, guest speaker
• Financial Report
• Fall Survey Results
• Nominating Committee Election
Questions? Please email president@puestadelsolpta.org.
