Note from your 2008-2009 Courreges PTA President

Message from your PTA President, Mrs. Nicola Weiss

Welcome to the 2008-09 school year! We are looking forward to another fantastic year with the help of all our great volunteers! We could not accomplish all of our PTA goals without your continuous support. As many of you know, the PTA’s mission is to promote the welfare of our children in our school community. We, the PTA, provide a bridge between the home and school so that the teachers and the parents can work together in the interest of our children.

The PTA supports many programs at this school, but I would like to introduce you to a few of them in a little more detail:

  • Field Trips: Did you know that the PTA pays for our students field trips? Every year each grade level plans several trips that are supporting their curriculum. Some of these trips are off-site to museums, science centers, farms or performing arts. Others happen here on campus, like the Long Beach Aquarium, Orange County Performing Arts Center Puppet Shows, science and history presentations. These are wonderful and exciting events for the students, and days they will always remember.
  • Art Masters: This program teaches art appreciation through multimedia presentations. The students attend an assembly that teaches them about the lives and works of master artists. Shortly after attending the assembly they participate in an art activity in their individual classrooms — presented and lead by you, the parents! A fun and educational way to be involved in your children’s art education.
  • Best Paw/Accelerated Reader: This is our reading incentive program for lower and upper core. Students read books at various levels of difficulty. In lower core, parent volunteers will then interview the student. In upper core, the program is done on their computers in the classrooms. The students are rewarded for their individual achievements throughout the year.

These are only a few of the programs that allow you to become involved! Our PTA is always looking for more parents to become involved, and we could not succeed without all your tireless efforts and support!

Thank you,

Nicola Weiss
