Hello Parents!
With the first month of school behind us, I hope your child(ren) have settled in and are ready for a great year at Keller.
We have had a terrific response from you, the parents, with signing up for the many opportunities to volunteer and/or chair a committee and we appreciate all your support that you give to the Keller students. We try very hard to make each year a wonderful experience for them by hosting our annual activities that have been very successful, as well as trying new and exciting ones. We cannot do this without your support, so THANK YOU!
With that being said, we are still in need of someone to shadow Lisa Costa, our Recording Secretary this year. If you are interested in joining the PCC Board next year by filling this position, please contact Lisa at ljcluvspugs@gmail.com.
The Fall Fundraiser kicked off on September 16th. If you are able, please show your support by helping your child sell the wonderful products available. Remember, the top selling class and the children who participated in that class will have the opportunity to partake in the money booth. The money raised during this fundraiser goes a long way in providing field trips for the students. If you would prefer not to sell these products but would still like to show your support, you can always make a direction donation if you like. Remember, 100% of your direct donation goes straight to PCC sponsored events and activities.
We hope to see many of you at our next PCC Meeting in the Keller music room on October 6th. This meeting will be an evening one, starting at 7:00 p.m. This is a good opportunity for parents who cannot attend during the day to participate in the PCC process. We can always use your help so if you haven't volunteered for a committee and something appeals to you please contact board member Lisa Costa who is the volunteer coordinator.
Finally, please help us get the word out to families new to Keller, and to other parents who may not know that there is a PCC E-Newsletter! To receive the PCC E-Newsletter straight to your inbox, contact Carie Scagliarini at carietag@yahoo.com with "PCC Newsletter" in the subject line. We want you to know the current PCC information and do not want you to miss out on any of the great activities we have lined up this year. Thank you!
Linda Lucier
