Programming
The 2011-12 programming team develops and creates programs that enrich our South Mountain community. The overarching theme throughout our programs is to provide opportunities to build and strengthen our community of families, administrators, teachers and staff. The many volunteers in our community make it feasible to have co-chairs for each event along with long lists of people who are willing to help make every event a fulfilling reality.
In the beginning of the year, we spend our efforts welcoming and transitioning with events such as:
Kindergarten Meet & Greet
First Day of School Welcome Coffee - 9/6
New Parent Reception
Ice Cream Social – 9/8 5pm
Other examples of events that help us provide enrichment and build community throughout the year:
Fall Festival – We need volunteers to help us plan and execute a traditional fall festival, including pumpkin patch and all the fixings.
Roller Skating Night (Thursday, January 19th)
Staff Appreciation Lunch (Friday, May 11th)
Spring Art Show & Concert (Thursday, May 24th)
School Spirit Day (Friday, June 8th, raindate Monday 11th)
PTA “Midtown Direct” Series Meetings (throughout the year) Informational sessions for parents.
Hospitality for PTA Meetings (throughout the year) Providing set-up for PTA meetings
School Fair (Friday, June 1st, raindate Monday 4th) Assist with Fair setup, supervise carnival games, sell food, face paint, Fair breakdown. Minimum one-hour time commitment preferred.
We also strive to continuously provide relevant and important information to the community through PTA meetings that are scheduled both in the morning and in the evening.
Any and all feedback about our events is welcome and encouraged. This is a volunteer organization and any help you can offer is appreciated!
