PTO News for Back to School Night

Posted on September 12, 2012

Dear Fellow Parents,
During the St. Ambrose “Back to School Night” this Wednesday September 12th there will be a brief PTO meeting. During that time we will be presenting the PTO Budget for your approval, and giving you some important information about the school year. Below, for your review, is the proposed budget and the PTO Board members if you have any questions.

We also want to ask you, “When do you want to have the St Ambrose Gala?” Our choices are before Lent in February or after Lent and spring break on April 13th. There are pros and cons for both (weather in February, sports conflicts in April). We are asking you to please fill out this simple SurveyMonkey question at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WWFNJCT.

NOTE: we ask that each family only vote once so that we get an accurate response and that is the only reason why we ask for your name. The Gala is our #1 fundraiser and it is imperative that it is well attended and more importantly it a fun time for us to get together. Please be prepared to review the budget and tell us what date works best for you for the Gala.

Thanks,
Bill Yaglou
