The Vaughan PTA is instrumental in the success of Vaughan Elementary. It provides student programs, educational materials, volunteer support, special family events, and other resources for our students and staff. In addition, it provides a weekly school newsletter for parents to stay informed of upcoming events and happenings around our school. Please browse around our PTA website. It provides a lot of information and resources that you and your family can benefit from. PTA Officers for the 2012-2013 School Year President: Sherrie Frank 1st VP (Aide) Mickey Deel 2nd VP (Programs) Shannon Brooks 3rd VP (Membership) Jilane Carper 4th VP (Ways&Means) Jamie Qureshi 5th VP (Volunteers) Holly Williams Secretary: Lisa Heath Treasurer: Kara Sanchez Welcome to your Exemplary Vaughan Elementary! Here is a brief outline of Vaughan PTA plans for the academic year: The main mission of your Vaughan PTA is to support education and help all Vaughan children. We will continue to focus on student enrichment by offering student assemblies, facilitate special learning opportunities through field trips and fund after-school programs. We also purchase many school resources such as student agendas, test-prep workbooks and new classroom supplies. This Fall we upheld our Vaughan traditions with the Red Ribbon Family picnic and Veterans Day Celebration. In the Spring we’ll have the Allen Eagle Fun Run and our annual end of year bash. Throughout the year, we’ll host musical performances by our Vaughan students and coordinate Book Fairs to earn new library books. Photos of events will be available on our password-protected website. Your PTA strives to facilitate communication between the school and families by publishing the weekly “Vaughan Voice” newsletter and through this website. Our YO packets (paper communications distributed to the Youngest and Only kids in each family on Wednesdays) sent home each Wednesday. In order to accomplish these things, we depend on our wonderful Vaughan Volunteers. There are many volunteer options available, each with a different time commitments necessary. Please make sure you go to the Allen ISD Website and complete your background check so that you can be a volunteer. I encourage every Vaughan family to support PTA with your annual membership, and invite you to attend our PTA meetings. Please continue to watch our website for updates, and feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Sherrie Frank, President 2012-13 Vaughan Elementary PTA Volunteers Register!!!! Volunteers for PTA or for just in the classroom need to register every year (and complete a background check) through the AISD website. It takes about two weeks, so if you are looking forward to volunteering, it’s best to complete the form early. |
