WHY SHOULD I JOIN PTA?

We all want our children to think school is important. We want them to respect their teachers and look forward to attending class. We want them to feel a sense of pride when they say their school’s name.

Joining PTA will help foster these feelings in our children. When our children see that we, as parents, think school is important… they will follow in our footsteps. When they see us become involved in what happens at their school, they feel a sense of pride. When they see us working with their teachers and their principal, to make their school a better place to be, they want to be a part of it too.

We all want what is best for our children. The PTA works hard to do what is best for the students at our school. When you join the PTA you have a say in what goes on at our school. You help make the school a better place for your child. Becoming a PTA member gives you a louder voice than you have on your own. You become part of a bigger whole. We need you to make good things happen.

Membership is $5.00 per person. Classes that have 100% participation - meaning one paid member per student - will received a pizza party compliments of your PTA.

Our PTA membership chairperson is Jennifer Moreno and Helle Johnson. Email either to find out more about joining the PTA: jghunker@hotmail.com or hellej@earthlink.net respectively

Save the Date! The 15th Annual GOES Montessori Community Pancake Breakfast is planned for Saturday February 6th 2010, 8:30 am. Marching bands, crafts for kids, fantastic silent auction items are all part of the morning’s fun. This event supports the GOES Montessori program.

Urban Harvest, a local nonprofit supporting the Houston area for more than ten years, has awarded our school a grant in partnership with Houston Garden Club to begin an after school gardening program. This is a hands-on program with activities in science, math, and other core subjects as well as encouraging good nutrition and teamwork skills. These classes provide opportunities for the creation and exploration of habitat gardens, ponds, vegetable, and fruit gardens. Lessons are connected to state objectives, and garden instructors utilize many curricula in the fields of environmental education, nutrition and science. The program will include both classroom and field work.
