From the SAS PTA By Mae Anderson PTA President
T
he annual PTA Staff Appreciation Day will be held on April 26 for our teachers and staff. This event is an opportunity for the community to come together to show our appreciation for the hard-working people who keep SAS running day-to-day. During Staff Appreciation Day, the PTA not only provides the faculty and staff with meals throughout the day, but also presents each teacher and staff member with a gift. I’d like to extend an early thank you to PTA Hospitality & Welcoming Chairs, Erma Huston and Leslie Lancaster, along with all PTA Division Representatives, Grade Level Head Parents and Room Parents for their efforts in organizing the donations and events for this day. I would also like to thank those of you who will work a shift during the day or will send in food or money to help our staff enjoy their special day. As always, these types of events could not be held without your support and generosity. If you would like to contribute,
please contact Erma Huston: e.huston@pacific.net.sg. On Tuesday May 10, we will hold our Volunteer Appreciation Tea and Annual General Meeting from 10:00am until 12:00pm. At this event, we will be presenting the school with a list of approved fundspending items that the PTA will underwrite for the next school year. Email invitations will be sent out soon with all the details, so please watch for this and mark the date on your calendars. This is our opportunity to thank all of you who do so much to help us throughout the year. This event is open to all SAS parents and staff. For those of you who plan to be at SAS next year and would like to get a start on planning your volunteer time, we would appreciate any information that you can provide on where you can help us. There are many events to plan and hold, many committees to staff, and a variety of PTA positions that need to be filled. Everyone in the SAS community will appreciate the contribution of your talent, time and commitment. Please email me to discuss volunteer opportunities with the PTA.
