THE DEADLINE FOR ALL ORDERS IS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30TH, 2010.

In the spring PTA Budget Survey, there was overwhelming parent feedback regarding the desire to have a Spanish Teacher on campus.  If you are a parent interested in the implementation of Spanish Language instruction at Barton Hills Elementary, please join us June 10^th.   We will be discussing the many challenges involved with introducing a foreign language class not supported by the school district.

Our timeline follows:

• Program Investigation and Planning: 2010–2011 school year.
• Potential Program Implementation: 2011–2012 school year.

We need enthusiastic parents willing to serve on an exploratory committee. Let’s come together, investigate, lay groundwork, and determine whether we can pull this off!  Kati Achtermann and PTA board members will be present.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

We look forward to talking with you!

Remember to READ 1,500 minutes this summer for a party in the Fall!  Packet going home last week of school.

Yes, you can come and go, but we encourage you to make it for the ALL of the excitement and here’s why:
At 2:05 a brief information will kick off the event and each family will be given a “Wellness Passport.”  Then families will rotate through five great stations, and at the end of the event turn in their passports for a chance to win one of the fabulous door prizes – everything from gift certificates to Whole Earth Provision Co. to massage or acupuncture sessions!  (Door prize drawing at 4 PM; must be present to win.)

See you there!
