PTB 2008-09 Accomplishments
To: Bartlett Elementary Parents and Teachers
We thought it would be appropriate to highlight PTB accomplishments for the 2008-2009 school year. As always, we couldn't do the wonderful things we do without such a supportive group of parents and teachers. We are very lucky here at Bartlett Elementary to have a strong group of parents willing to volunteer countless hours to support the activities and events we sponsor. Our teachers also make this a special place because of their dedication to our kids. Below are the highlights of a great year!

Our PTB website has become an integral part of our overall communication with parents. We hope to push this forward even more in the years to come. Many of the flyers and forms will be available online. You can now sign up to volunteer for events online, as well. If you haven't already subscribed to the PTB email announcement list, please do so. This is another great way to keep up to date with school events and PTB news.
Come August, it will be time to begin preparing for 2009-2010. We need YOU in order to continue to support the school with the many programs we offer. Volunteers are the backbone of any Parent Organization. We all do this for our kids! Please take a look at the PTB Committees below and consider volunteering your time. If you have any questions, go to our website for more information or send us an email by using the contact form on the website.
Have a wonderful and safe summer!
