It is so hard to believe that we start school in one week! I'd say the summer flew by but sometimes it flew and sometimes it dragged.
Tomorrow (Monday) night you are welcome to join us for our first PTA meeting of the year. In this meeting, we will share our expectations for the fall; however, our main concern is making sure that your family feels supported and that you have what you need to start the year off strong!
We will have lots of updates this week as we get closer to the beginning of the year. Be sure to watch our FaceBook page and the PTA website for updates!
Have a great week! We hope to see you tomorrow.
Your PTA Executive Board
Marie, Deb, Sarah, Dana, and Lauren

Advocacy Alert: FAST Program in Wake County
Have you heard about the FAST program which is designed to help with child care during this stressful time?
The Families and Schools Together (FAST) Initiative strives to bring community partners together to help address the childcare crisis facing our community. FAST is a collaboration of the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS), WakeEd Partnership, and key out of school time childcare providers and community organizations in Wake County.
FAST’s primary goal is to ensure that all families in Wake County have support for remote learning during the work day, these staffed small-group and socially distanced learning centers will provide physical activity and extended learning opportunities as well.
