In this issue: This is the last Tiger Talk for the 2009-10 school year. It is not necessary to sign up again for Tiger Talk next year if you are currently receiving it. Any questions about your Tiger Talk delivery status, contact Chris Hofstedt. Have a safe and wonderful summer!
Please come to the Large Lunchroom on this morning at 9:15 AM for the PTA Volunteer Coffee - a chance for the PTA to say "thank you" to our hard-working parent volunteers -- and stay to hear Ms. Monaco's annual "State of the School" address. We will also install the PTA Executive Board for next year.
Volunteers are desperately needed to co-chair the following PTA committees. Without volunteers, we cannot continue to offer these programs, some of which provide important PTA funding for other programs. If interested, contact Vicki Alcott, volunteer coordinator, at thealcotts@verizon.net or 833-2159.
Every family should have the 2010 Murray Memories yearbook as a keepsake! For those that have pre-purchased a yearbook, they will be distributed on Tuesday, June 22nd. For those that did NOT pre-order the yearbook, copies will be sold on Wednesday, June 23rd and Thursday, June 24th after dismissal from 11:30 - 12:00 at the front entrance AND near the kindergarten playground. Yearbook cost = $16.00 CASH
In order to plan for next year, we need all of this year’s expenses accounted for. You can find the forms you need to fill out in order to submit expenses on this site under PTA Forms. They are also available in the Treasurer’s mailbox in the main office. For any questions or expense submissions, please contact our PTA Treasurer Meg Bausano. Don't delay, submit today.
If your child has medication in the nurse’s office, please pick it up by the last day of school or it will be disposed of. All health forms can be downloaded by going to www.mamkschools.org and clicking on School Health Services and then Information for Parents. For more information on any of the above, please contact the nurse’s office.
The Clean Out Your Desk Campaign is next week. We are collecting new and used school supplies for students in need to be distributed to students through United Community Center of Westchester. Donations should be taken to the small gym. If you would like your child to participate, please print, sign and return the below permission form to the student’s teacher. Thank you for your support!
