1/30/13 Campaigns : Campaign preview Share This: A Message from PTA President It is such a wonderful time of year! With the New Year, there are so many things that we look forward to that it is easy to be filled with hope and gratitude. Some are looking forward to the Super Bowl, others are looking forward to the week-long vacation next month, while still others are glad that it isn’t freezing as much each morning. No matter where our gratitude lies, we should show our gratitude daily because it is gratitude that shows us that what we have is enough. I would like to take this time to give you a quick synopsis of the “Winter Wonderland” project that the National PTA promoted for the Sandy Hook (CT) elementary school. As you may recall, the Connecticut PTSA wanted to welcome the students of Sandy Hook back to their new classrooms with a Winter Wonderland scene. They asked anyone who would like to, to make snowflakes and send them to their school. The result? Trucks full of snowflakes! Their front lobby is full. The post office has delivered truck loads to their door. More come in each day. The snowflakes were hand cut, handpainted, hand-drawn and were big, little and poster-sized. In addition to snowflakes, a lot of boxes came with handmade sympathy cards, some donated football cards, while some had piggy bank money included. All of this was done in an effort to offset their tragic loss. What an outstanding display of human kindness. Thank you to any of our Sierra Oaks families who took the time to create and send snowflakes to these wonderful children, teachers and administrators. They have said that they feel immensely blessed. It is opportunities like these that remind us of why the PTA is so important. The entire mission of the PTA is to foster the educational growth of the children in our community and to bring families and community together in causes of support and giving. Everything that we do, as a PTA, is for the students at Sierra Oaks. And lucky you, you have upcoming opportunities to join in!
