- PTA News/Updates:
- Question on basketball and cheerleading: Why can’t cheerleaders go to away games? Due to lack of subs and absences, we are unable to send an additional teacher to the games. Most schools follow the same protocol. Parents ask for a compromise to see if cheerleaders can go to the games. Mr. Serin will see if possible. We can see if they can cheer during shows and presentations so they can share all their hard work.
- Birthday celebrations were today and went well.
- There will be a Snackagram for Valentine’s Day. Flyers to come.
