Your 2009-10 PTSA Board
Your PTSA Executive Board members for the 2009-10 school year are: Jan Mitchell, president; Kathy Moreno, 1st VP membership; Christina Browning, 2nd VP communications; Sue Carlstrom, treasurer; Laurie Bjork, financial secretary; Robyn Rhodes, secretary; Mary Anne Lindahl, historian; Mary Holmberg, parliamentarian. This is a fantastic team!
It is not too late to get involved in a PTSA committee or activity -- a great way to get involved, make friends, and help out the Amador community! If you just want to volunteer on an as-needed basis, or only at certain times of the year, or for certain events, let us know by filling out the PTSA volunteer form. See the link to the right.
There are people with experience and/or binders to guide you. Please contact Jan Mitchell at 925-461-8420 with any questions about these positions or to express interest. It's going to be a great year!
Coffee (& Cheesecake!) with the Principal
The Principal's Coffee at the first of the year was a resounding success, and with the start of 2010, it's time for another one. This is the best opportunity for the parent community to chat with Amador's principal, Mr. Bill Coupe, in an informal manner, get answers to your most burning questions, and share with him what's on your mind. This time, the Coffee is in the evening, on Jan. 20 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., in the Amador Library. Featured will be Starbuck's Coffee and a variety of cheesecakes from The Cheesecake Factory. Immediately afterward will be a quick PTSA business meeting.
If you can't make it right at 6:30, feel free to drop by any time to join in on the discussion. Please RSVP to Mitchell.jan@comcast.net by Jan. 18 so we will know how many guests to expect.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Amador Valley High School
PTSA President, 2009-2010
