Washington State PTA 2008 Legislative Session Final Report

 
 
 

Each spring our PTA takes time to reflect back on all the wonderful volunteers and people who influence and work with the students at Hedden Elementary. 

We have a special PTA meeting in May to recognize at least of few of these outstanding individuals -- this is when we award the Golden Acorn and Volunteer of the Year awards.  

Click here to learn more and to nominate someone who you feel deserves this recognition.

 

You can also obtain a hard copy of the form in the school office.

Hedden PTA started its process last month of filling our four executive board and twenty committee chair positions for next school year.  We want to say a big THANK YOU to the many parents and teachers who stepped up to fill so many of the positions.  You are what helps make Hedden such a great place for our kids to learn and grow! 

 

The positions that still need chairs are Book Fair (needs co-chair), Fundraiser, Historian, Newsletters, and Yearbook.  If you have a friend you’d like to co-chair with please do!  Part of the strength of our programs is having new people and new ideas.  Most programs have a notebook for guidance and there is much support to all chairs in our PTA.  We encourage you to consider these vacancies!

 

If you would like to sign up for a committee or to gain more information, please contact either Shelley Werner at 927-9233 or ptashelley@aol.com, Kelly Geisler at kellybritanne@yahoo.com, or Yasuko Steffenson at thesteffs@comcast.net.

Current School Contest Standings:

Box Tops - Ms. Grab's 3rd Grade

Soup Labels - Mrs. Adams' 3rd Grade

 

THE RACE IS ON!

With six weeks left of school, it’s not too late to get those Box Tops and Campbell’s soup labels in and help your class win a celebration!  Time’s a ticking so help your parents cut out all the Box Tops and soup labels you can find in your pantry.  Call Grandma and have her clip and save too!  The last day to turn in ELIGIBLE Box Tops and labels for this school year’s classroom competitions is May 30th.  The winning classrooms will be notified the first week of June! Remember that Box Tops and soup labels mean money for our school!

The classroom standings remain the same with Miss Grab’s class in the lead with the most Box Tops collected and Mrs. Adam’s class has collected the most soup labels.  Mr. Stock’s 4th graders are in hot pursuit coming in a close second behind Mrs. Adam’s class.  Only 183 labels separated the classrooms at last count.  Each and every Box Top and soup label counts so it’s not too late to catch your class up NOW!
