Saying Goodbye to 2007-2008

Hello again -
Just a few reminders from the office of the treasurer. The school year is quickly drawing to a close and that means no more backpack express!! So, if you are still in need of reimbursements or allocations that were approved, please get them to me as soon as possible. The fiscal year for NSPTA ends on June 30 and I would like all of this year's business completed before I hand the reins over to Jennifer.

We hope you all enjoyed Spring Fling. Thanks to Matt, Jodi and all their helpers for putting on the event in grand style, even in the face of a little adversity!!

Keep on bloggin' for up to date info in 2008-2009!

Spring Fling Thursday May 22!

Greetings, Northshore PTA members!
By this time next school year, this site will definitely be the place to go for all things PTA. Remember to bring your cameras to Spring Fling so that we can also post pictures to the blog. Just remember, never publish the last name of a minor pictured on the site for safety reasons.
