PTA President Extraordinaire

With school almost back in session, it means my PTA duties have begun.
This afternoon, after much confusion, we had our first board meeting. And, like any good President, I didn't know what this first meeting was for LOL
I had to rely on the others who have been on the board for years to tell me what the first meeting was all about. I was on the board last year but came in to everything after school had already started so I missed the whole first meeting...

I have to do my bit in the "Back to School" video tomorrow morning. Just 60-90 seconds of introducing myself and encouraging families to join. This will be played at the Open House Monday night... great!

This evening I have spent some time creating a Facebook group and a Twitter account to help spread the word of our events.
Next up is a website or blog for the same purpose. First, though, I want to see how much of an online presence our families have. There will be a form in the back to school packets for parents to fill out if they have email or online access.
The school is trying to go green and not print out newsletters anymore - instead, they will be emailed to as many families as possible. I'm sure my friend, The EcoChic will love that! :)

I'm still not sure of this whole President thing, but I'm sure as the year goes on it will just get easier... I hope...
