Hello Members,
Please join us on Wednesday, October 10th at 4:15pm for a special general membership meeting. We will be voting on a budget amendment. We encourage all PTA members to attend if at all possible. We need at least 20 members present to vote on these changes.
There will also be a guest speaker at the meeting discussing the upcoming election in November. This should be a great conversation with a lot of valuable information presented.
It’s more important than ever these days to be involved and to advocate for our schools and our children. We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us next Wednesday. The media center will be in use so we will be meeting in a classroom. Signs will be posted pointing the way.
Children are welcome, a PBS movie will be shown. We will also have Athens High School Key Club volunteers who are able to watch children in the next classroom.
Best regards,
OGES PTA Board of Directors
Celeste Smith, President
Ayanna Kozlow, Vice President
Julie Steet, Treasurer
