Thanks to everyone who participated in last weeks PTA Planning Meeting! So many areas were covered that we were not able to discuss them all in depth. Therefore, another PTA Planning Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 31st, 8:30 10:00 am at Guldheden Campus Small Bamba. If your schedule allows, please consider attending this meeting. Everyone is invited, including those who were unable to make it to the last meeting!

A Message from the Editor

As you may know, my family and I will be moving back to the US after the school year ends. Because of our schedule with the mover, I will be able to send out two more newsletters. Therefore, a PTA Update newsletter will not be available for week 24. Best regards, Sally Stokes
