Dear Parents,
As acting Chair of the Humberside Montessori School Parents?Association (HMSPA),
welcome back and an extra special welcome for the new parents and children. I
would like to take this opportunity to invite all parents, both new and
returning, to the first meeting of the Parents?Association of the 2011/12
school year on Tuesday September 13th at 7:00 p.m.
The Parents?Association is open to all parents. I think that many parents
have the misconception that it is only for class representatives and the
Executive Council but that is not the case. We welcome all parents to attend and
participate in whatever way they can. The Parents?Association was created to
help bring our parents together and to encourage parents to participate in the
enrichment of the students and the school. Through the HMSPA, parents are
involved in planning a number of social, entertainment and fundraising events.
Some dates to mark in your calendar now are Pumpkin Carving on Saturday
October 29th and the Parents?Social and Auction on Saturday November 19th. More
information on these and other events will follow throughout the year via your
class reps. You will see these events, as well as a list of the PA meetings,
listed in the school calendar.
Attached please find an information sheet for the PA, separate from the
school contact sheet, that I ask that you please fill out and return to me via
the office as soon as possible so that we can generate our email contact list
and ensure you are kept up to date on PA events. Also attached is a preliminary
information sheet about our magazine fundraiser through QSP.
Finally, our Mabel’s Labels fundraiser continues just in time for the start
of the school year. Through our secure and dedicated web site,
www.humberside.mabel.ca,
you can order all sorts of labels for your children, your household, and more.
The Parents?Association will receive a percentage of the sales. This is a
completely paperless fundraiser ?just go to and place your order today. Mabel's
Labels offers a great back to school combo as well as all types of labels that
are colourful, indestructible, easy-to-use and fun. Free standard shipping
within Canada and usually dispatched within 24 hours.
I look forward to meeting new parents and seeing you all at the upcoming
meeting on Tuesday September 13th.
Sincerely,
Jennifer N. Scott
Acting Chair, Humberside Montessori School Parents?
