General Meeting September 14, 2009
6
p.m. General Meeting
6:30 p.m. Meet the
Teachers The awesome BHS faculty will be introduced by department during the PTSA General
Meeting beginning at 6 p.m. in the Auditorium. A brief meeting will follow then you can head off to meet each of your
student(s) teachers. Everyone is welcome and getting there early might get you a better parking lot. Not
a PTSA member? Not a problem-membership envelops will be provided and dues are $5 per member. Your $5 goes a long
way in the PTSA's ability to advocate for our students. This year, due to the work of amazing PTSA volunteers, we have
over $10,000.00 in the School Projects Fund to award, we awarded $7,500.00 in scholarships, award $3,000.00 in 08-09 School
Projects and held a huge, successful Project Celebration topping over $45,000.00. The work that the PTSA
does goes back directly to BHS and our students. Your support would be greatly appreciated. |
