board member if you can help!

Welcome to the PTG!

The PTG or, Parent Teacher Group, is an organization committed to strengthening the bond between home and school.  Planning fund raising events, holding raffles, participating in bake sales and volunteering a much needed “pair of hands” are just a small part of being involved in your child’s school.  There are many additional ways you can show YOUR child how important the school community is to YOU, thereby building a stronger sense of the importance of school and community within your child. 

Attending and being actively involved at monthly PTG meetings shows your child, in a tangible way, how important education, community, and teamwork are to you and your child’s success at school.  Your thoughts and ideas are always welcomed and highly encouraged so that we may collectively better serve the Parker- Varney Elementary School community. 

The following is a guide to a typical PTG meeting with the hope that it will help you to be an informed participant in the process:

  • Please sign in - we need to have a written record of who was in attendance for our meeting minutes.
  • Please read over the previous minutes - we may be covering information that was shared at the last meeting.
  • Please take a look at the treasurer’s report - this shows how much money is collected paid out and what remains to support projects, purchase supplies and other items.
  • Take a look at the agenda - this is a roadmap to tonight’s meeting.
  • REMEMBER - if anything is presented for a vote…ALL voices matter!  Everyone in attendance has the right to be heard and to vote.
  • If, during a discussion, you would like to share a thought or idea, please do!  You may have a new perspective or idea that could take the discussion in another direction that may ultimately lead to great things!
  • At the end of the meeting, there is an open forum, this is YOUR opportunity to share any additional thoughts, opinions, ideas or information you may have about any topic concerning you!

Most importantly, this is YOUR meeting.  The PTG board is here to moderate.  We welcome your involvement and want to thank you for taking the time to come tonight and be an active part of the Parker-Varney community.

Current Fundraisers

Scrip

(Gift Card Order)

Update January 2010 - We hope to do another order near Mother's Day- Check back soon ! December's order was very successful ! Thank you helping to make this fundraiser a huge sucess.

It is hard to believe that Christmas is around the corner, somewhere just past Thanksgiving, report cards, car pools and ball games! It is always a whirlwind and I know the rush can take the joy out of this wonderful season.  

Our School would like to help make Christmas a little easier, perhaps more enjoyable this year and make a difference for our programs, children and school. You can help us by considering our Scrip Program as a source for your holiday buying! We have gift certificates from over 400 local and national vendors. Each would make great gifts for family, friends, teachers, employers, and associates on your lists! Our school buys these certificates at a discount and then we sell them for their face value. We can make between 2% -28% profit on gifts you are going to buy anyway! Why not give a gift that will benefit more than just the person who receives it!

Click below for a printable order form listing the gift certificates that are available.   Ordering is simple --each gift certificate and the value available is listed on the enclosed form.   Just write the number of certificates needed in the space provided. Total your order and attach a check made out to our school and return by Tuesday, December 8 th . We can have these gifts back to you by Friday, December 18 th . If you need your gift certificates earlier please make arrangements prior to December 8 th deadline to ensure prompt delivery.

Remember that with every purchase you would be investing in the children of our school, the school programs, and our community.

We hope to make your first Christmas shopping for 2009 the best ever!

Sincerely,

Deanna Boufford
