President's Message

The 2007 – 2008 school year at Bert Lynn is sure to be a great one! I am excited to again be serving as President of the PTSA. Our theme continues to be ‘Bert Lynn PTSA – A Recipe for Success’. If you haven’t already joined, please join the PTSA and become a part of this fantastic organization. Membership information is available in the office, on the school website, and page 2 of this newsletter.

Please take the time to read all of the information in this newsletter. It contains important PTSA and school information, including fundraiser details. Your participation in our fundraisers is what allows us to provide funding for the many PTSA and school activities. Our biggest fundraiser is the Magazine and Cookie Dough drive, going on right now. Thanks for your support!

I wish to thank everyone who volunteered this summer to help with preparation of the summer packets and with schedule pick-up. Your willingness to participate is what makes this a great PTSA and school.

Thanks to the hospitality committee and everyone who provided food for the fabulous Teacher/Staff Welcome Back Lunch. Everyone at Bert Lynn appreciates a chance to relax and enjoy some good food before the start of school.

Back to School night is Tuesday, September 25. Please join us in the cafeteria at 6:00 p.m. for the first PTSA Association meeting of the year. Classrooms will be open from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Please leave children at home for this event. Don’t forget, this is a minimum day, 8:15 a.m.- 1:25 p.m.

The goal at Bert Lynn is for all of us to work together to make the school year as enriching, productive and positive as possible for our students. There are always opportunities to volunteer – whether it’s chaperoning a dance, being part of the Adventures in Art program, providing food for a teacher/staff luncheon, or helping prepare the newsletter for mailing. I hope you will take advantage of what we have to offer and in return offer us your skills. If you are interested in helping out or have any questions,
please email me at bertlynnptsa@yahoo.com .

Looking forward to a wonderful year!
