END OF YEAR STAFF LUNCHEON needs volunteers. See page 12 of the May 20 issue for more details.

Update from the Executive Board: thank you to all of you who have volunteered for next year, we are off to a super start for 2009-2010!

We still have a few openings… parents we need you!! Unfortunately if we are not able to fill these positions those events cannot be offered next year. If you have never volunteered for a PTA position, now is the perfect time. Parents can Chair, Co-chair or team up with other parents so we can continue these programs! Volunteers can modify these programs/events to their convenience or use the existing committee’s detailed documentation. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like more information while considering any of the below. It is easy and rewarding - we are all volunteers, doing our best to provide as many opportunities for our kids as possible. All volunteer work is greatly appreciated. Position descriptions are listed on this site. See left of home page for the link.

Committee’s that need chairs and committee members, if no volunteers these programs will not be offered next year:

• Ice Cream Social
• TV Turnoff Week
• Cobbles Red Wing/Rhinos Night
• 2009-10 Audit Committee

PTA WINS AWARD: Every year the Genesee Valley Region PTA hosts a Presidents and Principals dinner. Among many events of the evening, is the announcement of the winner of the Shirley Wersinger Newsletter Award. This award is to recognize exemplary achievement in linking the home and school through the PTA newsletter. On behalf of the Cobbles PTA, Jennifer Novy and Don Bavis were very honored to accept the award at this year’s dinner. The award is for the 2007-08 newsletter efforts. Last year’s editors were Kelly Masters and Diane Wilson. We are very excited to learn that the Cobbles PTA will be among the entries to compete at the New York State PTA level.

Thanks to Don Bavis for hanging the plaque next to the PTA bulletin board for everyone to see.

 

COBBLES PTA MISSION: To support, enrich, and broaden the educational experiences of all Cobbles students.

The Cobbles Parent Teacher Association works to support and further the education of students at Cobbles Elementary School. The PTA supports the Arts in Education program, provides volunteers in the school, and plans numerous social activities for students and families throughout the year.

If you have any questions, concerns or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact either Jennifer Novy or Laura Griffith. E-mail links are in the left column of this page.

Our primary objectives are to:

  • be a bridge between home and school by: facilitating open communication, promoting positive parenting, encouraging active participation, and fostering a supportive relationship between parents, teachers, principal, other school staff and district representatives;
  • to provide opportunities to increase physical, intellectual, social, and character learning;
  • to create and preserve a strong, close-knit community within our school where people are familiar with and support one another;
  • to build a bridge between our school and the community at large by inspiring responsible citizenship;
  • to advocate on behalf of all children;
  • to evaluate programs and events to assure consistency with the Cobbles PTA MIssion Statement and Objectives

    How can you help?
    As an organization, the Cobbles PTA is mindful of the need for parents and staff to balance family, work, and volunteer time. We ask only that you contribute whatever time and funds you can to keep a balance that's comfortable for you and your family. We're asking you to consider the new Family Membership for only $10. However, if you prefer, you can still become a member at the single or community rate of $5. Membership dues help fund the programs and events we offer throughout the year. Becoming a member does not obligate you to volunteer your time.
