I hope everyone is getting into the swing of the school year by now. I don’t know about you but my family is glad to be getting our routines down, and there is nothing better than seeing those happy faces at the end of the school day. I am very grateful that my children have such a warm, loving, and special environment to grow in.
My fellow PAT members have been working already on several important items I wanted to share. We just submitted for approval the budget for 2012 (while we may be on a school calendar, the church works on a yearly calendar) and we worked very hard to make sure our estimates for revenue and expenditures are on target. Bridgette Stahlman has done a fantastic job of crunching numbers to get everything in order.
Roxi Tsakas has been hard at work preparing our Fall Raffle. This is an important fundraiser that goes directly to support the Preschool’s operating budget. We rely on the families at the preschool to support our Fall and Spring fundraisers in order to provide such an excellent learning environment at Covenant. This year’s raffle has some great prizes and is open to everyone and anyone to participate.
Brooke Howe added her special touch to make sure our Back to School picnic was a success. Jenny Stone Wolkind has done a great job of getting all of the co-oping schedules organized and room parents signed up. Susanna Butler is busy working on all sorts of publicity for our upcoming raffle as well. Liz Farrar has gotten this blog up and running in record time and it is going to be a great way to share information. Melissa Abraham, Gayla Zachry and Christy Milam also serve on the PAT and we are so very grateful for them. These women know how to get things done!

The next Parent Advisory Team meeting is October 13th at 9:15am in FEB 104. Our meetings are open to everyone and we encourage parents to attend. I also wanted to remind everyone to take time occasionally to thank the faculty and staff that work here at Covenant. They really are superstars and are what make this place so special!
