As you can see, your funds are definitely being put to good use for our students and teachers.  When you purchased Discount Cards, buy a chicken biscuit, items from our school store, bought books at the book fair, hams, Christmas ornaments, etc. – these are what the proceeds are going for – OUR KIDS and OUR COMMUNITY! 

 

If you haven’t had the opportunity to sign up for a committee yet, please go to our website www.fordptsa.com and click on the committees link on the left.  There you will find all of our committees that we have and the contact information for each committee chair.  Please find a way to get plugged in to our school that works with your schedule!  You can still join the PTSA also if you have not yet.  Click on the Membership Link on the website for a membership form. 

 

Our PTSA could not BEGIN to accomplish the things that it does without our volunteer support from each and every parent, so we sincerely want to THANK YOU for all that you do to make Ford a great place to be. 

 

Have a wonderful Holiday Season and Winter Break!                                                                 

 

Your PTSA Board,

Jane, Wendy, Natalie, Michele, Polly and Kelly
