Ironia PTA - Year End Updates & Announcements

The email you are reading is the last Ironia PTA Sunday blast for the 2010-2011 school!  Thank you for allowing us to use email tool as an efficient and effective communication tool to reach all families in a timely manner.  The PTA will be going green next year as we discontinue our printed newsletter and rely solely on email and our website.  We appreciate your support with this change.

 

The final PTA meeting of the year was held on Wednesday, June 15.  As you know, as of August 1, 2011, we will officially be operating as the Ironia PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization).  There will be no visible difference except for the "O" in PTO.  We are proud to announce and welcome the newly elected, inaugural board of the Ironia PTO:

PTO President:  Gina Drake

Vice-President (Administrative):  Beth Hart

Vice-President (Fundraising):  Gina Luciano

Vice-President (Family Services):  Evelina Pentz

Vice-President (Programs):  Meredith Rychener
