Join Mary Shannon and the Home and School Association for "Appetizers with the Principal" on Monday, June 8 at 6:15pm in McKenna Hall.  Mrs. Shannon will discuss the Terra Nova test's new format and the school's results. 

 

Parents will have the opportunity during this meeting to vote for HSA President-elect (candidate is Denise Siciliano) and HSA Treasurer (candidate is Phil Joyce).  We will also be voting to approve the HSA's 2009-2010 fund allocation.  Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our fantastic fundraisers and the generosity of our many benefactors, the HSA has $200,000 to allocate for next year.  The HSA Board has developed a preliminary allocation based upon the school's needs and the HSA's goals (see below).

 

Free child-sitting is available from 6:00pm until the end of the meeting.  Please RSVP to Sheila Miller at 202-337-2339 or smiller@htsdc.org so that we may plan appropriately.

 

If you would like to vote but cannot attend the meeting, please send back our "absentee" ballot, which was included with the HSA flyer in today's Tuesday folder.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Shannon Hynds at shynds@mindspring.com
