WELCOME
August 2010
Dear Parent(s):
Welcome back to St. Teresa of Avila School! We are proud of our school and thankful for your dedication to the success of St. Teresa and your commitment to your child’s education.
This letter is to introduce you to the 2010-11 Parent Teacher Group (PTG) at St. Teresa. The PTG is involved in many activities and can be an avenue for you to become involved in the school community. The PTGs theme this year is “Leave a Mark.” We all have talents and skills that we
can offer St. Teresa of Avila and our children through our volunteer efforts. We encourage you to
leave your mark at St. Teresa this year through new or continued involvement and volunteer
efforts. Consider teaming up with a friend to chair a committee or volunteer for an event. Even
committing yourself to 2 new or additional hours of volunteer time will help make a difference.
We thank you in advance for your involvement!
As you know, our PTG has no dues or fees. We hold very few fundraisers and concentrate on
creative ways to earn money without having to spend any additional money. Please refer to our
flyer on Free Fundraising Opportunities to get reacquainted with the simple and easy no cost
fundraisers. We appreciate your support of our efforts.
The St. Teresa PTG mission is “to provide support to the faculty and staff of the school, to serve as
a voice for parents and to offer community building opportunities for the mutual benefit of the
children, parents, and educators.” We work towards this mission in the following ways:
Supporting the educators and staff by providing financial support for:
Field trips
The school library
Continuing education for teachers
Start-up money for each classroom
Providing various holiday celebrations for faculty and staff
Support our students with the following services:
Organize alternative lunch and snack options for purchase in the cafeteria (fast
food days, popcorn days, hot dog days, ice cream days, healthy snack days)
Provide holiday lunch
Support activities such as History Fair, Science Fair, School Play, Bible Bowl, Jesus
Day and 8th Grade activities
Offer incentives for the students to raise money for the school by collecting Box
Tops, and Campbell soup labels, CapriSun pouches and Tyson Food labels.
Support and promote the family unit that is such a wonderful aspect of St. Teresa by hosting:
Family Fun Nights and Parent Night Out activities.
Family fundraising activities such as Pumpkin Carving, Winter Wonderland and
Children’s Bingo.
The Major Fund Raiser as we knew it has been replaced by the Walk-A-Thon and it will now be
our primary source of financial support. You will receive information regarding the Spring 2011
event throughout the school year. Your continued support is vital to the success of our mission
and we thank you in advance for your participation.
PTG meetings will be held four times this year and will last approximately one hour with
childcare available. The final meeting in May includes elections of new PTG Board members.
Please consider being a part of the 2011-12 Board. The meetings provide updates on PTG
activities and the status of the budget. We will continue to provide guest speakers on various
topics that pertain to our students and their families. If you have a particular subject or speaker
that you wish to recommend, please let us know. This is also an opportunity to offer input, ask
questions, or to voice your concerns about topics related to school. Your input is invaluable to
our school’s success.
You will receive several PTG forms in this packet. PTG communications will typically come
home on yellow paper. Please look over these items closely, they will offer you the opportunity
to sign up for various activities including Room Parents and Room Helpers, committees for our
various functions and opportunities for you to get involved in your child’s school. Should you
ever lose your forms or need additional information we post all handouts on our website.
One of the easiest ways to keep informed about PTG events and activities, and to contact the PTG
board members, is to visit St. Teresa School’s website: www.stteresa.net and click on the
“Parent Teachers Group” link. We also encourage you to sign up to receive email updates
through the PTG GoGreen email at GoGreenPTG@gmail.com. Please see the enclosed
form for instruction on how to sign up or renew your desire to receive GoGreen emails.
The PTG Board Members for the 2010-2011 school year are as follows:
Linda Collins and Maria Williams, Co-Presidents
Jenna Martin and Tanya Morgan, Co-Presidents Elect
Sally Lambers, Treasurer
Diane Brogan, Corresponding Secretary
Phyllis Bryant, Recording Secretary

Again, welcome back to St. Teresa of Avila School. If you ever have any questions related to PTG,
please feel free to email any of the Board members as needed. We look forward to reconnecting
with you and working with you to continue to make St. Teresa School the best it can be.
Sincerely,
Linda Collins, Maria Williams and the PTG Board
