EASTERN TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL 1100 Mace Avenue - Essex, Maryland 21221 Phone: 410-887-0190 http://easterntechptsa.com [email protected] Lisa Broznowicz – PTSA President C. Michelle Anderson – Principal Volume 46, Issue 1 President's Message … I hope everyone had a great summer. The PTSA had its first PTSA meeting of the new school year on August 15th. Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting, including Mrs. Anderson. Mrs. Anderson always keeps the PTSA up to date on what’s going on at Eastern Tech. Our PTSA treated the teachers & faculty to a Back to School Breakfast on August 19th. Thanks to our new hospitality chairwoman, Candice Holt, for organizing the Back to School Breakfast. Our freshmen banners were ordered and hung up prior to Freshmen Orientation/1st day of school. Thank you to the Hughes family for all of your work to make the freshmen’s first day special! Welcome back to our Executive Board and Committee members. They are: President –Lisa Broznowicz Vice President – Rachel Hills Treasurer – Kim Fortuna Recording Secretary – Heather Allred Corresponding Secretary – Doris Hitt After Prom – Doris Hitt Basket Bingo – Kimberly Hughes REFLECTIONS – Kristen Nielsen Bulletin Board – Rachel Hills Hospitality – Candice Holt Teacher Appreciation – Joyce Walter Membership/Stampede – Dora Russell Scrips – Dora Russell Sixteenth Birthday – Chrissie Gettier Nominating – VACANT – YOUR NAME HERE??? Website – Kim Fortuna PTA Council Representative – Carol & Ron Beecher Banners – Kimberly Hughes We have another great year planned, but we really need some parents to step up and volunteer. Please see the Help Wanted List in our newsletter and consider volunteering. According to the National PTA Website (https://www.pta.org/programs/content.cfm?ItemNumber=1459) in the 2002 research review A New Wave of Evidence: The Impact of School, Family, and Community Connections on Student Achievement, Anne T. Henderson and Karen L. Mapp conclude that there is a positive and convincing relationship between family involvement and student success, regardless of race/ethnicity, class, or parents’ level of education. To put it another way, when families are involved in their children’s learning both at home and at school, their children do better in school. The report also points to specific types of involvement as being especially beneficial to children’s academic success. We cannot do it without volunteers!!! So please volunteer! Hope to see everyone at Ledo’s on September 13th on Campbell Blvd. You do not need a flyer. www.bcptacouncil.org Twitter - @EasternTechPTSA www.mdpta.org Volunteer to be the After Prom Chairperson! Our beloved chairperson is retiring at the end of this year. We need an underclassman parent to shadow Doris this year. Please contact Lisa Broznowicz at [email protected] if you are interested. This is a tradition that we do not want to end as it keeps our seniors safe from risky behaviors associated with Prom Night. Please support Eastern Tech by eating at 5350 Campbell Blvd (Nottingham Square in White Marsh) Tuesday, September 13, 2016 5 – 10 pm Ledo’s will donate 20% of the total dine-in sales to Eastern Tech PTSA. If carrying out, you must tell the cashier to credit Eastern Tech. No flyer necessary Please take this opportunity to support us!

Time for SCRIPS Gift Cards!!! Start the year off right. Order gift cards and help Eastern Tech earn money! WHAT IS SCRIPS? SCRIPS is another name for gift cards. Each gift card you purchase has a specific amount of money that the merchant donates to the Eastern Technical High School PTSA. Cards are available for gas, restaurants, clothes, groceries, Amazon and Groupon purchases. Many places you already shop!! Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and Giant Foods are examples of the most popular cards with many places available. Gift cards make great gifts and can be purchased through this program. A complete list of gift cards is available by going to https://www.shopwithscrip.com/Shop/Product/BrandAlphabeticalList This program is a service to Eastern Tech families. Payment must be made with the order. WHAT MAKES BUYING SCRIPS SO GREAT?? *Purchase gas cards for that new driver so they’re never without gas. *Purchase food cards for your weekly grocery shopping. *Purchase restaurant cards and treat the family. *Purchase store gift cards and shop for the birthdays and holidays. *Purchase gift cards now and save them to shop for Christmas! ************************************************************* Buying SCRIPS gift cards supports your normal family buying at no extra cost AND greatly helps your PTSA with little added effort !! ************************************************************* SCRIPS Gift Cards Frequently Asked Questions – and Answers! How does buying gift cards from SCRIPS help Eastern Tech? When you buy SCRIPS gift cards, a percentage is donated from the merchant to Eastern Tech PTSA. Are SCRIPS cards the same as gift cards you can purchase at the store? Yes! They look the same and can be used in exactly the same way. Where does the percentage that Eastern Tech earns come from? The merchant donates a percentage to Eastern Tech. You pay $25 and get a $25 gift card. You pay $10 and get a $10 gift card. Whatever amount you choose to buy, you get the full face value. There are NO additional fees. How can I buy SCRIPS gift cards? Return a completed order form (attached) and your cash or check payment in an envelope marked SCRIPS to the PTSA mailbox in the main office. Why can’t I pay with my credit card? SCRIPS does not accept credit cards, By paying with cash or check, SCRIPS saves on credit card transaction fees and passes the savings on to the Eastern Tech HS PTSA. When (and how) will I receive my purchased gift cards? Approximately 1 week after the order deadline, the cards will be placed in an envelope and put in the mailbox of your student’s homeroom teacher UNLESS you indicate on your order form not to. In that case, you will be contacted using the information you provide to arrange for pickup. PLEASE give SCRIPS a try! For the holidays don’t waste your gas driving from store to store. Let SCRIPS do the work for you and you will have more time to spend doing the things you enjoy. Contact Dora Russell at 443-386-1580 or [email protected] for more info.

In lieu of selling candy, gift-wrap or other items, we ask that each family make a monetary contribution to the PTSA. This money will be used for the running of the PTSA including mailing the newsletter, scholarships for seniors, faculty appreciation, hospitality, after-prom party, and other PTSA sponsored events. We are encouraging parents to make their contribution along with your membership dues. If each family would donate just $15, we could raise approximately $18,000, which would help us to do more for the students and school community. We will provide a 'breakfast party' for the homeroom class with the highest average amount per person collected through the month of October. Your PTSA…knows that parents want to help their children succeed academically, emotionally, and personally. We build bridges between home and school. Your PTSA…is run by volunteers and led by volunteers. We are accountable to our members. The annual dues are - $7.00 for ET students/faculty and $10.00 for each family member. (2 for $18) Students must be a member every year to be eligible for PTSA senior scholarships. To encourage participation, we will again provide a 'breakfast party' in November for the homeroom with the highest student membership percentage through October. For each member that joins, a 'token of appreciation' will be given. Within a few weeks, your gift and membership cards will be given to your student to take home. Remember, your donation is tax deductible. You are also encouraged to ask your company for a matching donation, if possible. *** …and the WINNER is… your PTSA *** P T S A Any parent (family member, friend) other than student, who joins the PTSA in August, September, October or November, will have the opportunity to WIN a gift card. If you join in August or September, your name will be entered to win a $50.00 gift card, in October you could win a $25.00 gift card, and in November a $10.00 gift card. Any teacher (faculty member, administrator, staff) who joins the PTSA in August, September, October or November will have the opportunity to WIN a gift card.
