PTA NEWSLETTER MARCH 2023
Galloping Towards Spring

Hoping you all had a fantastic President's Week break and have returned to the Ranch with a pep in your step. In March, our PTA is ready to celebrate Read Across America - promoting literacy through interactive events, special guest readers and dress up days! We also look forward to honoring Women's History Month with a panel of classroom visits from well-known women. Be sure to ask your Stallion which historical and famous women came to speak with them. 

This month we are also excited to elect our 2023-2024 PTA Executive Board! Our 2023-2024 Executive Board Slate is presented as follows:

President: Patty Donovan

Executive Vice President: Jamie Bouchard

Vice President Fundraising: Kelley Fields

Vice President Membership: Emerald Baker

Treasurer: Kelly Kraljic

Secretary: Kaytie Mulchay

Historian: Tracey Louis

Please be sure to read on and mark your calendar for our PTA Association Election Meeting.

PROMOTING LITERACY STALLION-STYLE

The first week in March will be dedicated to promoting literacy, in a different way than we do all year. Read Across America commemorates the birthday of Dr. Seuss and encourages us all to find a passion for reading. This week our students will dress up daily, engage with guest readers at the Ranch, and explore new ways to appreciate reading.

WANT TO SKIP THE FUNDRAISERS?

We understand that fundraisers can be overwhelming, but without this support our Stallions will miss out on so many enrichment programs. 

Sadly, todays school curriculum does not include many of the programs we grew up loving. PE is once a week -  coached by the YMCA and paid for by the PTA. Art and Ceramics are typically provided by an outside organization and paid for by the PTA. Science Fair, Field Trips, the School Library, Playground Equipment, Classroom manipulatives, specific supplies and some class reading books are also paid for by the PTA. We also support most Assemblies, after-school Family Events and Teacher Appreciation Week Events. 

This is just a short list of how funding is used, so we appreciate all support from any fundraiser. We are also sensitive to the idea that you or your student do not want to sell cards, candy or ask for sponsors. Some students LOVE the challenge, the interaction and the prizes! If your family would prefer to make a direct donation, please do so via our website and the link below. You can find the DONATE option on our SHOP page.

Please note that any direct donations will not remove you from " A List" and your child will still receive fundraising materials. 

We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your help in keeping our Stallions enjoying all they do at the Ranch!
