Dear Friends and families of Commack PTA,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! May this brand new year of 2010 bring you all much health and happiness. PTA Council would like to invite you to this year's Founders’ Day dinner on February 4th, to celebrate those who have made a difference in the lives of our children. So many parents and teachers devote their free time and energy to our children, above and beyond what is expected, for which we are all so grateful. Every year at this time, we get the privilege to honor those special peopleand say thank you. I hope that you can all come out and support our honorees. The dinner will be held at the Watermill in Smithtown, starting at 6:00 p.m. Please fill out the RSVP to order your tickets by January 12. Click here for the form.

Our District Webmaster Brenda Lentsch will present a workshop entitled “Computing Tips and Tricks.” She will teach us how to navigate the District Web site, teach us some neat computer tricks, and answer any other questions we may have. Please RSVP to me at stentiford@hotmail.com  if you would like to join us on January 19th, at 10:00 a.m. at HUBBS. I thank Brenda in advanced for presenting this informative workshop.

Once again, budget time is upon us. I encourage you to attend the Public Budget workshops that will be held at HUBBS on March 11, 24, and April 6. It is Important to take part in this process, so that you are well informed, and take an active role by making suggestions to the Board of Education.

You can visit the NY State PTA Website and use the link “CAPWIZ” as a tool for reaching our elected officials when important issues arise, such as letting your elected officials know exactly how important education is to you and the children in New York.

I am always available to address your questions, please email me at stentiford@hotmail.com.

Sincerely,

Eleanor Stentiford
PTA Council President
