conclusion

If you’ve ever considered volunteering for a PTA position I encourage you to step forward and introduce yourself to any officer or chairman. This is a great group of friends who will welcome you and encourage your service to our school. It is truly a rewarding experience. A copy of this report will be included in a scrapbook of the year’s events which will be on displayed in the school office after being reviewed. With that said, I move to adopt this report as the History of the Walker Creek Elementary PTA for the 2008-2009 school year.
