PTA President's Letter / March 2010

 

 Wow! What a winter we have had!  We have had our share of snow.., snow men, snow tubing, snow angels, skiing, snowboarding, shoveling, and snow days!  Now I am ready for some warmer weather!  Although, snow days are a great time to cuddle up with our children and stay in our PJ’s we must get back into the swing of things in school.  March is chock full of fun family events, testing and preparation.  We can look ahead to Spring Break right around the corner but we have to help to get our children back into the busy routine of school. The Month of March is one of the busiest and most important times for the PTA as well.

Help the Wanaque Police help the Marines in Afghanistan

Capt. Ken Fackina, from the Wanaque Police Dept., will be collecting school supplies and children's clothing (gently used or new) for a US Marine group who is restoring Now Zed, a town in Afghanistan. The Marines have requested these items instead of stuff for themselves.

If you would like to donate anything please drop it off at the Wanaque Police Department, and tell them it is for Captain Fackina.

Thank you so much for your help!
