Hello SJLES families and guests

President's Note:

Welcome to the 2007-08 school year!

We have an opportunity that PTAs are not often given. We have the opportunity to be part of a new school this year - not a brand new building but a new school in terms of what really matters - children and families brought together with some of the best educational professionals in Howard County. Whether you have been at SJLES for years, have a new kindergarten child or are a recent transfer, this is an opportunity to form a partnership with our school to deliver the best education possible for all of our children in a safe and nurturing environment.

Your PTA has been working hard to help ensure this school year is a great one for your children. In order to successfully deliver the programs to the children and the SJLES staff, we do need your help. Please join your PTA now to ensure that we can continue to offer these programs to the children and staff of SJLES. Consider volunteering - whether it is an hour a month or an hour a week, our school and the PTA would appreciate your help. Everyone has something to offer and you will find it a rewarding and worthwhile experience that will benefit your child and all the children of SJLES.

Please take a moment to look through these web pages and learn more about what your PTA does for SJLES. After doing so, consider how you can be part of the initiative to support and advocate on behalf of all of our children - being a PTA member, volunteering, attending PTA sponsored events, participating in our fundraisers all help with the main objective of showing our children we care about their education and experiences.

Thank you.

Beth Snyder
