FIRST PTA MTG RECAP
Thanks to those who joined us for the PTA meeting. We went over upcoming FDO's, had a membership update and approved our budget. We also went over what's going well and what improvements could be made with Dr. Z and Mr. Kopacz. Here's the recording (the password is eG*e5UUC). We have put together a tentative school calendar together here. Obviously we'll be adjusting this as we go through out the year and things change so always look for the latest version.
