The next PTA General Membership Meeting will be on Thursday, January 12th at 3:45 in the staff lounge.  We are looking for new officers to nominate for the next school year 2012-13.  You need not have any experience to volunteer for any position as the Washington State PTA and local members are always on hand to help out.  Contact any current officer to learn more about how you can take on a leadership role and keep our PTA healthy and active throughout another year!  (Officers are required to be paid members in order to be elected, so you can still join for this year.)

The next Skateland Family Night will be on Tuesday, March 13th from 6 to 8:30 P.M.  Cost to skate is still only $4.50, and just watching is always free!

If you know someone you would like to nominate for the Golden Acorn (volunteer award) or Outstanding Educator or Advocate, please contact any of the current board member.

Keep saving your Boxtops and Campbell's Soup labels!!  Campbell's Soup Labels and food Box Tops are ongoing fundraising for Hoover PTA that costs you nothing except the time it takes to cut off labels, save and give to your student's classroom teacher.  Twice a year the K-2 and 3-5 classes with the most box tops and labels earn an ice cream party for their class!  There is also a table outside the office with a bin and PTA schoolhouse mailbox where you can put yours at anytime.  The first collection date for this year is coming up on December 9th!!
