President's Message
Sara Miller - Marshdale PTA President  |  Email:  saramiller1@comcast.net

Happy fall!  The leaves are changing, our nights are getting cooler and we've officially welcomed the first day of autumn.  PTA has lots of updates to give you after a successful first month of school:

Catalog Fundraiser - Many thanks to all who ordered from the ABC Catalog fundraiser.  PTA raised over $8,000 thanks to your efforts.  Order pick-up will begin after school on Tuesday, October 16.  For more information contact Kirsten Hollander at kirsten.hollander@gmail.com.

General Membership Meeting - Our first PTA General Membership meeting was Tuesday, September 18 at 6:30 p.m.  *  We approved the 2012-13 PTA Budget and heard committee updates from each of our officers.
*  After a report from Principal Kay Moser about Marshdale's school performance framework, we were treated to a demonstration of SmartBoard technology by teachers Barb Grindle and Charlie McCarthy. 
*  We also heard information about the 3A/3B Ballot Initiative on the November ballot.  Representatives Kristin Wheatley and Tammy Story presented from Citizens for Jeffco Schools and Sheila Atwell presented from Jeffco Students First.  I would encourage each of you to visit the websites, read the attached information about how 3A/3B will affect Marshdale and educate yourselves about the upcoming vote.
*  Mark your calendars!  Our next general membership meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 17 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
