Last Night's PTA Meeting Was A Massive Success

Parent Members and Staff Members (of the PTA),

Last night's Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Meeting was a success. We had a total of 57 students represented by parents last night, with 42 of those 57 students represented by parents who attended in-person. While 57 students represents only 19% of the total 298 students in Pelham Gardens Middle School, this is a great start for the Parent-Teacher Association. The Executive Board showed everyone yesterday exactly why they were elected as the parent leaders of Pelham Gardens Middle School. And the parent members in attendance, both in-person and online, were very engaging and brought ideas and matters to the table that will benefit Pelham Gardens student in the coming months and years. It was great to see such a turn out for our students and we look forward to seeing even more parents at next month's PTA meeting. That information will go out in the coming weeks.

All students who had parent representation at last night's meeting received their Class Dojo points this morning. There was not a class that had 100% representation by all students, 602 had the most parent representation with 32% (8/25). While this is good, it does not get the prize. Let's remember, if a class gets 100% representation by parent for a PTA meeting, each student in that class will receive 10 Dojo points towards the next trip or incentive and the class will get a pizza party. So, that is something strive for.

Also, a recording of last night's meeting will be available tomorrow. So check back on PGMS566.org after 12:00pm.

Thank You Parents and Staff.
