President’s Piece
Back-to-School Blues?
Now that school is in full swing, I can honestly say, “Thank goodness summer is
over!” Like many of you, I juggled multiple family activity schedules with grace
under pressure. Transporting kids from one
camp to the next, all while keeping them
occupied, is definitely a full-time job. Let’s
be honest—aren’t you glad to hand over
your little darlings to their schools and
teachers by August 1, let alone August 13?
And there was nothing like the week before school, when we all went crazy trying
to find the best sale on supplies. Confession time: I am a school supply junkie. To
me, there is nothing like a sale on scissors, glue, tissue, and new lunchboxes to
put a smile on my face. Need five folders,
get ten! Need pencils? Get five packs! So
when you see me, don’t make fun of my
Hello Kitty lunchbox. You just wish you
had bought one for yourself.
On a more serious note, I’m sure you all
have been feeling a bit overwhelmed since
school has started. We’ve all had to establish new routines; go to bed earlier; get up
earlier; go back to wearing uniforms (for
some); argue about what to wear (for others); and, of course, do homework. Maybe
this is your child’s first year in school as a
kindergartner, and after the back-to-school
breakfast that the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) hosted at your school, you
were thinking, what’s next?
For some of you, your schools are just
now kicking off their membership campaign. Even if the membership numbers
are high, you still need to recruit parents
to become members. For inspiration on
how to increase parent involvement, go
to the National PTA Web site. It offers an
idea bank and the Three for Me Program.
If you feel at a loss for what else to do,
contact the 15th District PTA Office. We
always have something going on, from the
Clothing Assistance Program (CAP) to advocacy to Reflections.
Parent involvement is the key to a student’s success. Take the time to ask your
members what they would like the major
PTA project to be this school year. Engage
the teachers, and create a positive dialogue
on how your PTA will make a difference
at the school.
Don’t give in to the back-to-school blues.
You’ve had your break, and now it’s time
for us to get back to work. Just remember to have fun while doing it, and if that
means carrying a cool new lunchbox, I
say, go for it!

Getting to Know Andy Treinen,
Our Honorary Membership Ambassador
Andy Treinen is from Cincinnati, Ohio,
where he grew up with two brothers and
attended Catholic schools. He went to college at the University of Cincinnati. He
met his wife and began his media career in
Cincinnati, where he began in sports (behind-the-scenes work). He has also been
the play-by-play voice of the Cincinnati
Bearcat Football and Basketball Teams.
His career led him to Milwaukee, where
he worked as an on-air sports reporter and
then became a news anchor. Andy and
his family moved to Louisville and began
working at WHAS11 in 2006. He is currently the news anchor on Good Morning
Kentuckiana weekdays from 5 to 7 a.m.
Andy and his wife, Wendy, have two
girls—Ella, age 7, and Mia, age 5. Ella attended Tully Elementary, and now both
girls attend Stopher Elementary, where
Andy is actively involved as a PTA
member and a classroom helper. He is
passionate about helping students. Andy
served as a mentor in the YMCA’s YNOW
Program, which serves girls and boys ages
10 to 15 whose parents are incarcerated.
He says it was a fulfilling experience in
which he learned a lot about young people and their need for adults in their life
who keep their word and care about them.
Serving as a mentor in this program is a
one-year commitment, and he encourages others to look into this opportunity to
serve.
Andy and his family spend time doing
fun activities, such as boating, jet-skiing,
camping, and relaxing at Lake Cumberland. He loves sports and has served as
assistant basketball coach at Stopher Elementary. He is also an avid fan of the
Cincinnati Reds and Bengals. He also
cheers for University of Louisville and
University of Kentucky teams, except
when they are playing against his alma
mater, the University of Cincinnati.
Andy is very excited
to be the face of the
15th District PTA
for the next two years. He is available to
come to events at your school and help in
any way he can to help promote the PTA,
increase membership, and advocate for
children.
If you would like to invite Andy to come
to a function at your school, contact Theresa Mayfield, fourth vice president, 15th
District PTA, and she will check his availability. Theresa’s contact information is on
the back of the newsletter.
Welcome aboard, Andy! We are excited to
have you as a part of our team!
September Is
Membership
Month
Let’s get excited—
school has finally
started. Each school
should have posters of Andy Treinen, our
honorary membership ambassador.
Now more than ever, PTA membership is
important. We would like to thank every
school that has achieved the first goal of
PTA membership—having 100 members
by August 15. It is not an easy feat getting
parents to join when they also have to purchase uniforms and school supplies. So
we would like to thank every local unit for
their extra effort.
Time is of the essence. Don’t forget—
if your PTA’s membership is equal to or
greater than last year’s by September 15,
your local PTA will be entered in a drawing. Also, use Grandparents Day as a time
to engage your students’ grandparents and
encourage them to join the PTA.
Kentucky PTA
Kids’ Day
Kentucky PTA Kids’ Day was established
in 1985 to set aside one day just for our
students. The goal is to send the message
to each student that he or she is a special
and unique individual who is respected
and loved. Kentucky PTA Kids’ Day also
makes the public aware of the educational
and personal needs of children and the role
they play as our most important resource.
Celebrate Kentucky PTA Kids’ Day on
September 22, 2009, and then tell us
about what you did to make the students at
your school feel special. If you can’t celebrate on the official day, hold a Kentucky
PTA Kids’ Day event when it fits in your
calendar.
Here are examples of how two schools celebrated Kentucky PTA Kids’ Day. Both of
these schools received recognition at this
year’s Kentucky PTA Convention/Leadership Conference for having Outstanding
Programs and Projects.
Chancey Elementary School
Remember that with each member who
joins your PTA, you could have a new
person to volunteer in such activities as
Picture Day and fall festivals. We have
high hopes that adults and children will become PTA members.
Students were greeted by cheering teachers and staff as they entered the school
building. Every student received a letter
detailing why he or she is a star. Teachers
read excerpts from the student letters, or if
students were able to read, they read them
on their own.
Don’t be bashful; join the PTA! We cannot
do it without you! If you need anything, let
us know. We are here to help you.
St. Matthews Elementary School
Alisha Pasley, Second Vice President
Need Board
Training?
I will be happy to come to your school to
do a board training anytime during this
school year. This training usually takes
about two hours and is very valuable for
your board and principal. It will help you
get your school year off to a great start. To
schedule a training or for more information, please call me at 895-6004 or e-mail
me at [email protected]. Please
give me at least three dates so we can find
a date that is good for all of us. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kentucky PTA Kids’ Day was celebrated
by teaching students about healthy snacks
and nutrition. Partnering with a local natural and organic grocery, students tasted
healthy foods in a mock farmers’ market
that was set up in the gym. Information on
nearby farmers’ markets and healthy eating were provided to the students as well.
For more ideas on how to celebrate Kentucky PTA Kids’ Day, go to www.pta.org
or contact me, the 15th District PTA Office, or the Kentucky PTA Office.
Have fun and be creative as you plan
ways to make your school’s students feel
special!
PTA Awards
Opportunities
Welcome to the 2009-10 school year. This
year, your local PTA will be involved
in many programs and activities. Your
PTA will have outstanding volunteers and
educators. You will have some exceptional
students and some talented writers.
Don’t keep these assets to yourselves.
Share them with others, and maybe win
an award! The 15th District PTA Board
wants to know about those wonderful assets that your local PTA has. Acknowledge
your PTA’s talents by taking a moment
and applying for some of the many awards
available through the district and state
PTAs. Forms for applying for awards are
found in the Kentucky PTA Leaders’ Notebook. You will
also find explanations and deadlines
for awards in upcoming issues of our
newsletter. It’s never
too early to start working on these award
applications!
Finally, plan now to join us at our District
Awards Ceremony in May to celebrate
your PTA’s accomplishments for this year.
Good luck on an award-winning year! If
you have any questions about awards, feel
free to contact me.

school? Participate in the Reflections Pro-
gram, which is designed to enrich the art
education of students. The theme for this
year is “Beauty Is ….”
Each student may enter in any of the following six art areas. Challenged students
can enter in each area in the Challenged
category.
• Literature
• Musical Composition
• Photography
• Visual Arts
• Dance Choreography
• Film/Video Production
We no longer have the Dance Individual
or Dance Group categories.
Each student enters one of the following
age categories:
• Primary—Preschool through grade two
• Intermediate—Grades three through five
• Middle/Junior—Grades six through
eight
• Grades nine through twelve
Local PTAs can submit entries to the
15th District PTA by October 22, 2009.
A school can submit one entry per grade
in each of the six categories.
Example: A PTA can enter once in third
grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade (which
is the Intermediate category) in the category of Music. It can also enter once in
preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and
second grade (which is the Primary category) in Music, and so forth.
Packets of information and forms were
sent out in August to all PTAs, principals,
art teachers, Reflections chairmen, Family Resource and Youth Services Center
(FRYSC) coordinators, music teachers,
English teachers, technology teachers, and
dance/physical education (PE) teachers.
Make the Reflections Program a part of
your PTA.

Superintendent’s PTA
Membership Club Opportunity
Several years ago, we started the Superintendent’s PTA Membership Club for people
who do not have any children in school but just want to be a part of the PTA. PTA membership is one way of bringing attention to the cause of public education.
We ask you to join the largest children’s advocacy group in the United States, with
more than 5 million members and 23,000 units. Your membership will help support
campaigns at every grade level. PTAs offer more than just bake sales and festivals. We
provide training for parents and caregivers. We lobby at the local, state, and national
levels concerning issues that are important to education. We provide an army of volunteers to support school and district initiatives.
If you are already participating in the PTA, thank you for your time and support. If not,
please take a moment to fill out the membership form below. For a small investment of
$5, you can provide support to all Jefferson County public schools.

Celebrate PTA Healthy Lifestyles Month
in November, and you could win $1,000
for your PTA! Help improve the health
of your community. Physical activity and
good nutrition help equip children for
learning and a lifetime of health. This

healthy habits among students and families, and your PTA could receive up to
$1,000 to support those plans.
Application deadline: 5 p.m. EDT, Friday, September 11, 2009*

Hats Off to CAP!
The 15th District PTA CAP is off to a running start. We opened for appointments on
July 7 and held our Back-to-School Blitz
the week of July 27. As of that date, we
have clothed 2,030 students from more
than 1,000 families. Most students received
new uniforms, and all students received
new socks, underwear, and a belt. This program could not succeed without the help
from our local PTAs. We are always in
need of gently used clothing from infant to
adult sizes—and not just uniforms because
we clothe the entire family from our Family Room. We also help families affected
by fires, floods, and other events that cause
them to lose their home and belongings.
We supply them with donated towels and
sheets. Be sure to send volunteers on your
appointed days and hold a clothing drive
once or twice a year.
This summer, we had teenagers from
across the United States volunteer with us
for four work-packed days. They were a
part of the Catholic Heart Workcamp. In
the summer, we also have workers from
Aerators, KentuckianaWorks, and the
Catholic Charities Kentucky Office for
Refugees. They sort, wash, box, and hang
clothes. Thousands of socks have been
rolled and underwear separated in preparation for the year.
We also had board members and their children volunteer during their summer break.
We had students working at CAP at 5
a.m. for two local morning show broadcasts. Thank you to Male High School for
sending volunteers for one of the early
mornings and some Eastern High School
graduates who decided to give up some
summer break sleep for the other early
morning.
During Blitz Week, we were also able to
give away 500 books, thanks to a partnership between the 15th District PTA
and Scholastic Books. There were lots of
smiles on the faces of children and adults
as they picked out a book to call their very
own. Today, across Jefferson County, there
are many families reading and enjoying a
good book together! The following companies also donated
bags for the new clothes to be placed in:
the Big Lots off of Shelbyville Road, the
Best Buy in St. Matthews, and the Middletown Kroger. We are always in need of
more bags throughout the school year. Just
give me a call if you have bags to donate.
We also received a very generous donation
of new shoes from the Kentucky Chapter
Association of Legal Administrators. They
went very quickly and were greatly appreciated by the families.
If you have any questions about volunteering or donating, please contact me.
Fundraise
Responsibly
As active PTA members, our goal is to enhance the education of our children and all
children. PTA is not a fundraising organization, but we find that fundraising is often
what we are asked to do. Fundraising is
okay, but we need to do it responsibly. Establish goals, and then fundraise in order
to meet those goals. Remember that you
don’t have to continually raise money and
that, according to Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) policy, PTAs may only
have one main fundraiser. Some fundraising companies may tell you that dealing
with one company for more than one
fundraiser is considered as just one main
fundraiser, but this is not correct.
Example:
1 PTA-sponsored catalog fundraiser
+ 1 PTA-sponsored cookie dough
campaign
= 2 main PTA fundraisers, which is
against JCPS policy
Good luck, and have a fantastic school
year!
