The
Third Week of February
pta
council scholarship committee
A
special thanks to the PTAs who have contributed to the PTACHC Scholarship
Fund for the 2007-08 school year. Thank you to
The Scholarship Committee is organizing
in the near future to decide on the recipients of the scholarship
awards. Every high school senior in the county is eligible to apply
for a scholarship award. This process is dependent upon the
contributions made to the fund. Thank you to all those PTAs that have contributed and
for those PTAs who have not, there is still time to send in your
contribution.
The
scholarship committee is comprised of representatives from each of our 12 high
schools (and/or any other interested PTA member). The committee meets
a few times during April/May to review applications and select scholarship
winners for this year. If you are interested in serving on this committee
as a representative for your high school, please contact Carolyn
Folger at 410-379-9030.
Founder’s
Day Celebrates PTA Accomplishments
Each
February 17, PTA celebrates its founding. By honoring our past,
we renew our commitment to the future. And we have quite a
past to celebrate! Because of PTAs efforts, our nation has
-
Kindergarten
in our public schools
-
Labor laws
that prohibit children from being in the work force
-
Federally
funded hot lunches, that feed 26 million children a day in our
public schools,
-
A juvenile
justice system that prevents children from being tried and incarcerated
as adults, and
-
Rating
systems for musical recordings and television programs to guide
parents in making choices that are right for their family.
PTA
members have the same passion and dedication our founders had to
making sure all children have a chance to succeed in school and in
life. Thank you to all PTA members for helping us make history. Happy
Founders Day!
