PTC MEETINGS (PARENT TEACHER CLUB)
2nd Tuesday each month, 7-8:30pm –
except September (9/21)
Everyone is welcome to attend the monthly PTC meetings. They are
held in the library and childcare is FREE. Come find out what is
happening at Hollydale!
Welcome!
Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year at Hollydale. The Parent
Teacher Club (PTC) wants to thank you for your support and let you
know we appreciate all that you do for our school. Your gift of time
is so valuable. The 6,000+ hours you logged last year in and out of
the classroom were the equivalent of paying an employee almost
$110,000. WOW!
The efforts you have put into raising funds for our school have also
been greatly appreciated. Those funds help us to bring opportunities
for the students that they wouldn’t have otherwise. Together we
provide over $18,000 in programs and supplies that supplement our
children’s learning. I am proud to be a part of such a great team and
community!
In order to continue serving students with such quality programs and
maximize our volunteers awareness and participation, we have
created this booklet. It outlines all of the volunteer opportunities at
Hollydale and tells what each opportunity involves including its
responsibilities and time commitments. If you need additional
information or clarification on any volunteer opportunity please
contact the chairperson listed, a PTC board member or the
Volunteer Coordinator.
Thank you in advance for everything you will do for our school
community. You are a valuable and important element in the
success of our students and the Hollydale Volunteer Program.
Please consider where you can help! Feel free to call with any
questions you may have.
I look forward to meeting you!
Cecilia Braaten
PTC President
