Important Information:

Indiana PTA just challenged all PTA/PTSA to have 100% Teacher/ Principal memberships by the end of December. If you are a teacher who had not yet joined, please do so before December 20th and help us be part of the drawing for $100 dollars.

You will also be helping yourself because until December 20th, dues are still $6. When school resumes after Winter break, dues will be $7. Get your form here and return it before December 20th.

There is also a drawing for teacher and staff who join and information was placed in staff boxes last week.

Gavit PTSA WEBSITE's New Look

 Thank you to those who voted via the website, Facebook and at the meeting last week.  You were very helpful in deciding on our new look for debut in 2012.  Our students may need that much time to migrate those web items that are very important to parents and students to know.  We will announce in the newsletter and on Facebook when the new look is up and functional.   

We thank the students of Ms Emily Smith's last hour Computer Design class for the time and effort each one put into working on a new look for Gavit PTSA.   The look that was chosen was clean in design, had readable print and supported the color scheme well.   In fact when it came to colors, I believe everyone did an exceptional job.   Statements I heard were positive as to the offerings.  

The design chosen was NUMBER 7.
Thank you to Tonya Rosolowski ! You did a great job!

Membership:

My membership matters.....

*at my school

*in my community

*when talking to my legislators!

Why?

"My membership matters because I help organize fun events for families at my school to come to. I help open the doors of our school to the community." This was one of the many quotes from the Indiana PTA Facebook page.
Why does membership matter to you?

Your membership matters to Gavit PTSA because you make a difference to your child because they know you care for them and are willing to make a statement to that effect in your community and with your legislators.
