PTSA President’s Message
Welcome to Calle Mayor Middle School!
As always, we have lots of wonderful enrichment programs and activities planned for the students this year. Adventures in Art, field trips and the Library are just a few of the many programs, 100% PTSA funded and staffed by parent volunteers.
The PTSA also provides the resources to keep all of the students safe and the school campus beautiful. We check and maintain the Emergency reparedness supplies for the school, as well as host a Calle Campus Clean Up Day, twice a year. Safety Education is provided through various programs, including Red Ribbon and Fire Prevention Week. In our efforts to provide a safe environment for the students to learn in, the PTSA also facilitates the registration of all of the volunteers on campus.
Communication is an important goal of the PTSA. The eYapper is a weekly publication that is sent electronically via email, providing important information about events and programs at the school, as well as a calendar, listing upcoming activities. We encourage everyone to go to our website (http://www.CallePTSA.org) and sign up for the online service as a way to help conserve paper and save our environment. In our further efforts to conserve paper, this year we will also provide the Quarterly Newsletter – The Bulldog Barker, all sent electronically.
How can we provide all these programs and services? We do it through the various fundraising programs during the school year. Our two major fundraisers are the Direct Donation fundraiser in the fall and the Bulldog Run in the spring. In addition, we have book fairs to promote reading and to also provide funds to maintain our library and sell Calle Logo clothing and items to promote school spirit.
But the most important way that you can help your children is to give them your time and involvement in their lives. Childhood is such a fleeting moment in time. Treasure and enjoy your children, always.
