A note from our President, Keli Garrett: Welcome back! What’s your New Year’s Resolution? You might consider resolving to become more involved at Bette Perot. Volunteering even a little bit of your time is not only helpful to our school but rewarding, too! The staff and students love to see parents (AND grandparents!) helping around the campus. Here are just a few ways you might consider volunteering. •Watch D.O.G.S.: Dads, if you are looking for a way to get involved and see what your child does all day, consider becoming one of our Watch D.O.G.S.! Contact Mrs. Cox, our school counselor, or Caroline Vorwerk to be added to the Watch D.O.G.S. calendar. There are still many dates available! •Be a school volunteer: Our teachers, office staff and Co-Curr teachers oftentimes need a little extra help. Please contact Julie Onkels to be added to our PTA Volunteer Contact List. Julie emails “Sign Up Geniuses” with volunteer opportunities, don’t be left out! •Volunteer in the Library: If you have ever stopped by the library you might have noticed the piles of books needing to be re-shelved. Ask Mrs. Pratt, our fabulous Librarian, how you might be able to help. She is always in need of some friendly faces looking to brush up on the “Dewey Decimal System!” •Volunteer from home: Ask your classroom teacher or the front office if there are projects needing to be completed from home. This is a great way for our working families or parents with small children to still lend a hand. •Consider becoming a PTA Board Member in 2015! I know it’s only January, and you might be thinking, “Next year’s PTA?” . . . but it’s never too early to consider running for next year’s Board. The PTA nominating committee will be forming the 2015-2016 PTA ballot in early Spring. Consider attending our General Assembly meetings over the next few months to become familiar with the BPES PTA. You might decide you would be a great fit next year’s Board!
