From the President

Happy New Year everyone! Our first semester was totally awesome. We had several successful events. We are so thankful to all of you for participating and showing your continued support of the PTA. It was our pleasure to serve you during our Appreciation Night. This semester we are looking forward to some exciting events as well. We are proud to host our Father/Daughter Dance on February 7, 2014. We are also getting prepared for our "Taste of Clarkdale" Spring Fling/Community Yard Sale. There will be an informational meeting coming on February 24, 2014 regarding this event. If you or anyone you know would like an opportunity to rent a space to sell items, you should attend this meeting. As always, we need volunteers to make these events successful. So PLEASE VOLUNTEER!!! If you are interested in volunteering please call me at 678-5716559. Yolanda Bracy
