Special PTA General Body Meeting!
Tuesday, September 17
5 PM @ Crosswind Cafeteria
|
At our August general body meeting, an incorrect copy of our budget was inadvertently passed out. We believe this may be the cause of many of the questions about our budget. The PTA board feels calling for another vote on the budget is the appropriate and transparent thing to do. Hopefully, this will reassure all of our members that the budget has been thoroughly vetted and approved appropriately.

Message from the PresidentDear Crosswind Families,
Greetings! I hope this summer was full of fun and relaxation. As the incoming new PTA President, I am very excited about the upcoming school year. If this is your first year at Crosswind, I would like to extend a warm welcome to each of you. If you are a seasoned Crosswind family, I know that you are as eager as I am to be starting a new school year. The PTA is an integral part of Crosswind Elementary. Not only do we host fun events during the school year, but we also provide funds and volunteers for our teachers and staff, and we support our community thru several outreach programs. Turkey Trot in October is our one major fundraiser during the year. We raised over $55,000 last year, putting the money towards a wonderful new playground built this past spring. As previously mentioned, we also provide various events throughout the year. Below are some key events and activities you won’t want to miss:
We are an organization of volunteers! Our events are only a success because of the amazing parents and teachers who volunteer their time and efforts. Each one of us has different skills, talents, and resources that are needed to make Crosswind what it is today. We all want the very best education, and experience for our children, and that is why we must all individually do whatever we can to make it happen. Without your support and/or financial help these programs just cannot occur, and Crosswind would not be the school that it is today. Please join me, the PTA board, and our entire Crosswind Elementary as we embark on the quest to ensure that our children reach their greatest potential. For those that know me know that I believe the old adage, “It takes a village”. I think about all the wonderful things that happen at Crosswind, and with your help we can strengthen and build our village to unbelievable heights. Thank you for your support and welcome back! - Raquel Blue / PTA President |
