=// Welcome to the 2010-11 School Year! //=

I can’t believe another school year is here! It’s time to plan our schedules, start new routines, get the kids to bed early //(yay!)// and figure out what to pack in those awful lunch boxes.

But it’s also time to see old friends and make new ones, and that’s always been one of my favorite things about the start of the school year //(not to mention having a few hours a day to myself)//.

This year, returning the kids to school holds even more excitement for me, as I assume the role of president for Cook’s Home and School Parent Association. Parents who are familiar with the association will see all new faces this year, as all three of our past officers are moving on and taking a well-deserved break. Be assured, our new officers are very committed to supporting our students, our teachers/staff and our wonderful school!

Working with a fantastic team of parent volunteers, we are setting new goals for our school that will enhance our children’s school experience and support our faculty. Look for some new ideas and activities, as well as the return of some old favorites. Fundraising events will still hold an important role in meeting our goals, and we’ll need your support.

But, more importantly, we need your input, your ideas and a little bit of your time to make our efforts successful.

Whether your schedule allows you to give an hour or two a month or just one day a year, please know that we value your time and would be honored to have you share a little bit of it with us!

Look for volunteer opportunities throughout the year, following this link Volunteer Opportunities and also in our Home and School office near the front entrance of the school. Together, we’ll make this school year a memorable one for your kids and our staff!

Thank you!
