Hope that you are enjoying this much needed rain and looking forward to a wonderful holiday season with family and friends! Thank you all so much for your support for our big fundraiser, the Mustang Drive. Because of your generous donations, we should be able to fund all of the PTA programs that we had budgeted this year. A big thank you as well to our tireless Mustang Drive committee led by Brenda Durnin. It was a mammoth task that they pulled off with aplomb.
Looking toward the new year, we have our next General PTA meeting on Tuesday, January 15 at 7pm in the Rogers Library. We will recap our Mustang Drive, give you an update on our expenditures and where we are for the year and elect a nominating committee to determine our PTA board for the next school year. This is an important meeting and we hope that you will join us!
As further incentive, we will have a terrific speaker, Mr. Mike Keller, coming to speak with us at 6:30pm. Mike is the Director of Social and Emotional Support in Laguna Beach USD. He was the previous Director of Special Education in the Los Alamitos school district and is a licensed educational psychologist, and adjunct faculty at USC. He will be speaking on the topic of The Well-Balanced Student and a Climate of Care which has five components: social and emotional learning, student-teacher relationships, student belonging, peer relationships and school/classroom climate. You will not want to miss this discussion.
Thank you again for your participation in the PTA and our fundraiser and all our best to you and yours during this holiday season!
