Dear St. John Greek Families,  

Welcome to the 2006 – 2007 school year!  We are excited to have you and your children as part of our school community and I look forward to working with you to enhance our children’s educational experience.

As President of the St. John Parent and Teacher Support Organization, PTSO, I am extending a personal invitation to you to participate in our active parent organization.  The foundation of our school is its families and you are an integral part of our success!  

Last year, PTSO raised over $60,000 through 2 fundraisers, organized 10 service projects, and provided over 1,000 service hours to benefit our students!  The efforts provided funding for:

Computers Kindergarten Building Renovation   Student Desks
Scholarships  Macromedia Software         Field Day
Library Books   Grandparents Day Luncheon  Salute the Arts
Christmas Program      Teacher Re-Certifications   Laminator
Band Equipment           Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week  Instruments     
Student Directory Atomic Learning Subscription    Class Materials

Our goal is to have 100% parent participation.  You can help in any way that fits your schedule and time availability.  Attendance at the monthly meetings is a great opportunity for you to learn what is happening at St. John and also to learn of the volunteer options that are desirable to you.  The focused meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 8:00 AM and run 60 minutes or less.

If meeting attendance is not possible, the PTSO Newsletter lists project specific volunteer opportunities under “Help Wanted” along with PTSO current events.

To become a member, just complete the Membership Registration Form and mail it to my attention or drop it off at the front desk.  Annual membership dues are $25.00 per family.  For your convenience, your account will be billed.  All members receive voting privileges and monthly emails of meeting minutes.

If you have questions, please contact me at (813)286-8434.  The PTSO Officers and Chairpersons are an impressive and team-oriented group.  You will enjoy serving with these fun and friendly parents as much as I do!  

Sincerely,  

Michelle Alonso

PTSO President
