A Note from the 2010-11 PTA President,
Dawn Clark - Welcome to "ALL" to another
successful, pride-filled, and exciting year at West Millbrook
Middle School. My name is Dawn Clark and I feel proud to be
your PTA President for our 2010/2011 school year. Along with
all of you, a committed PTA Executive Board, an amazingly dedicated
Staff, and over 35 committees chaired by equally enthusiastic
parents, we are sure to have our best year yet at WMMS. Our
goal is no different than the one of any parent. We are committed
to advocating, supporting, and working to ensure the very best
for our children. We consider our children to be " ALL" the
students who come through the doors of WMMS. We wish for all
of the children at WMMS to reach his/her full potential. Together
we can make this a reality. The PTA stands for Parent/Teacher/Association.
This means that you are the PTA! Being a member is a given
by virtue of you being a parent/guardian/caregiver of a student
at WMMS. That means that "YOU" are a member of the
PTA. In addition, like American Express, "membership has it's
privileges." Your involvement in the PTA is so valuable because:
- PTA is the number one voice for parent involvement.
- Children succeed when families, schools, and communities work together. PTA helps develop those relationships through resources, programs, and advocacy.
- You're not alone. PTA is a network of trained and passionate volunteers just like you, ready to assist when you need help.
- You are part of a powerful voice for all children, working with like-minded people around the country and the world to improve the education and well-being of our youth.
- You are supported by real people will connect you to information about children and education you can use today.
- PTA makes a big difference by influencing the decisions of legislators and leaders of other organizations-and PTA works with parents locally to ensure proper funding, leadership, and instruction for all schools and school districts.
- You can be a role model to your children and community!
We sincerely look forward to meeting you at our PTA Meetings and running into you around the WMMS campus! To view the schedule of PTA meetings for the year, click here.
