Loggerhead Families,
We have the most amazing PTA!  I have often shared that a major reason for our continued success as a school is due to the unprecedented level of parent involvement and support that we experience each day.  Our PTA does a magnificent job to coordinate events, fundraise, and most importantly provide for the needs of our students and school.
Parent volunteers can be found daily at Laurel Hill reading with students, completing clerical tasks, shelving library books and eating lunch with our children.  Year in and year out parents and volunteers assist us in new ways and with needed projects.  This year our PTA has not only volunteered thousands of hours at our school, but they have also funded books for classroom libraries and our media center, fitness equipment for our playgrounds, tutoring services, author visits, and additional classroom supplies and materials. 
In addition to these projects, our PTA has also worked with teachers to coordinate a number of family-friendly events live the Fall Carnival, Reading Night and Math Night, as well as the upcoming Turtle Trot and Art Night.  These annual events help to create the amazing family-centered culture that exists in our school community. 
Our PTA also works tirelessly to provide for our faculty.  Teachers new to our school are always blown away by the professionalism and genuine caring that they experience from our PTA.  Teacher Appreciation Week is obviously a week in which PTA shines and provides many treats for our teachers, but this treatment actually carries on throughout the year through birthday lunches and other special programs unique to our school.  Our excellent teacher retention rate is in large part due to the PTAs efforts in this area.
Please join me in thanking our PTA Board members; Kearnan Tomlinson, Teresa Muthard, Dawn Shaw, Lisa Leask, Liz Potter, April Murphy, Khrystin Harshaw, Kristy Schou, Shanna Flanagan, Stephanie Sharib and Mindy Logan for their service and dedication to our school.   Their hard work and leadership is a major factor in the success of Laurel Hill Primary School.  On behalf of the Laurel Hill community I want to thank you for all that you do for our children.


Sincerely,


Michael Antonelli
