It
is always so exciting to begin a new school year. I
love the anticipation of what the new school year
has in store for each of us. I am amazed, when I
take those “first day of school pictures,” at how
much my children have grown and matured from one
year to the next.
As
an “experienced” (not mature and not old, please!)
Mom at Huffman, I can truly say we are an exemplary
school in so many ways. Not only does the state of
Texas acknowledge we are Exemplary Rated
academically, but we also won a Gold Award from the
state for our PTA contributions. Our staff and
teachers are exemplary every day as they lead, teach
and love our children. Our parents and community
partners are exemplary in their support. Our spirit
events, community nights, fundraisers and other
school events are so well attended, we are always
grabbing more chairs! Our children demonstrate
exemplary manners and behavior when they participate
in special events at school or while away on field
trips. I am so very proud of our school and excited
to be the PTA President this year.
There is always room for more volunteers. If you
want to get involved, we would love to have you! If
you want to donate some time, we will put you to
work at some of our many events, field trips and
fundraisers. If you just want to donate money, we
would love to put it to work for all of our
children. If you just want to support your child
and help with homework, read the newsletters and
return paperwork in a timely manner, then that works
for us too! If something is bothering you, please
communicate to me, so we can work through any
issues. Our PTA is here to support all of the
children and our EXEMPLARY school.
I
look forward to meeting you at a PTA meeting, in
carpool, at the Back to School Bash, or other spirit
night. Thank you for all of your enthusiasm and
excitement as we get ready to ROCK in 2009-2010!
You
all ROCK,
Leslie Gilvar
PTA President 2009-2010
