A LETTER FROM OUR NHE PTA PRESIDENT

Dear Nottingham Elementary Families,

As we begin this new school year, I want to welcome our new Principal Mrs. Becky Hagan and the new families to Nottingham Elementary. Also, thank you to all the teachers and staff for creating a safe and challenging learning environment for our students.

As the NHE PTA President, I am honored to serve alongside a group of dynamic parent volunteers who are dedicated to making Nottingham Elementary the best school for our children. I want to particularly thank the PTA Executive Board, Julie Walla, Cassie McClung, Maddie Murphy, Dawn Rasch, Kate Ghazi, Courie Anderson, and Kristin Anderson. They have been busy over the summer, planning for the year, and searching for ways to support our staff, students and NHE community through these unprecedented times.

There have also been active committees that have been working hard throughout the summer that I would also like to recognize:

Julie Walla, our VP of Small Fundraising, and her following committees:

  • Sarah Davidson, our Spirit Gear Chair and her committee Keeke Russo and Megan Kessler who designed all the cute and fun gear for the school year.
  • Jennifer Hatler and Jennifer Fitzjarrald, our Snow Cone Chairs for organizing the Kona Ice Truck during the summer to raise funds for the PTA.
  • Rachel Collins, our Spirit Nights Chair for organizing the Scout & Cellar Wine Fundraising event. She donated 20% of the sales proceeds to the PTA.

Cassie McClung, our VP of Programs, and her following committees:

  • Paula Ovenden and Michelle Pendleton in Hospitality for organizing the Back to School breakfast for the teachers and staff.
  • Marie Gonzales, our School Supplies Chair, for organizing all the school supplies for drive through pick-up and delivery to the classrooms.
  • Ashley Rundall, our Communications Chair, for keeping the NHE PTA community informed on all social media forums, creating the newsletter, updating all forms, and managing the calendar.

A BIG Thank You goes out to the many families who have generously donated time and money to ensure that we are ready to start the school year with the tools and resources needed.

I would like to encourage you to join our PTA. By joining and supporting the PTA, you have a voice/vote in the decisions that PTA makes. We welcome you to attend our membership meetings. To join the PTA online – www.nottinghampta.org
