Welcome to the Arrowhead Elementary General PTA Meeting held on October 4, 2011. We recognized our Reflections winner in the Film category and discussed important budget items including income from the recent Art Auction and membership dues. Various committee reports highlighted the kickoff of our Read-a-Thon fundraiser and new initiatives for staff appreciation. Additionally, we informed members about advocacy opportunities and upcoming events such as Walk to School Day and Family Movie Night. Your involvement is essential for supporting our school community!
