Congratulations! As a newly elected President, you are just
beginning a PTA experience that will allow you the opportunity to develop
relationships, skills and so much more. We all work to advocate on behalf of all
children, both as parents and volunteers.
National PTA’s slogan captures the essence of what PTA is all about…
every child. one voice.
You, your fellow officers, and
chairs are invited to attend the premier training event in the Shawnee Mission
Schools PTA - The School of Instruction.
It will be held
Wednesday, May 4th
2005, at Shawnee Mission West High School.
There are 16 workshops covering all different areas of
PTA. The presenters are current Area
Council officers and chairs with experience and training in the specific
areas. The format is informal with
information, conversations, questions, and resources to assist you in planning
for the upcoming year. This instruction
is meant for anyone who will be holding a position or chairing a PTA event next
year. It is a great opportunity to
gain knowledge and confidence for your position from those who have held the
same PTA position in the past. For the
first time, SMAC is offering you a way to have dinner and still gather for
School of Instruction. Two Guys and a
Grill catering will give you the choice of a hamburger, cheeseburger or chicken
sandwich, chips and a drink which will give you a chance to grab a bite,
network or visit with friends. This
year we have also added a course just for the secondary level to address issues
that primarily occur at this level.
The schedule for the evening is as
follows:
6:00 PM-6:45 PM On-Site Registration, Check-In for
Registrants, Dinner
6:45 PM-7:15 PM Install newly elected SMAC officers,
Administration Address
7:15 PM Workshops
(Workshops average
between 1 and 1 ¾ hours in length.
After your workshop you are free to leave)
Each school
is invited to prepare an exhibit to share.
It could include Spiritwear, banners, directories, yearbooks, your
Historians scrapbook or even a power point presentation. See
more details on page 2. Attached you
will find a reservation form, a description of the workshops and more
information about sharing displays.
We
recommend that you and your unit register early. However, on-site registration will be available. Registration
is $5 per participant and dinner is
only an additional $5. We hope you
and your unit will take part in the information, networking, and resources that
will help your unit have an exciting year for your PTA.
If you have
any questions please feel free to email or call me. Thank you for your time and your efforts in supporting the
children of the Shawnee Mission School District.
