Welcome to Thunderbolt Elementary and Thunderbolt PFADear Thunderbolt Families,
Welcome to the 2017-2018 academic year at Thunderbolt Elementary School! I look forward to meeting and working with all our families this year. Thunderbolt (TBE) is home to enthusiastic teachers, a supportive Administration and an incredible community. We truly have the best parents - involved and generous. As your PFA, we harness that spirit to provide volunteer activities, enrichment programs and supplemental curriculum in the classrooms to supplement the resources provided by the state. Here is how you can help. First, you are automatically a member of the PFA just by being a TBE parent. We encourage you to stay connected. Send us your contact information, Like us on Facebook, Parents of Thunderbolt Elementary, and keep up to date on events on our website. Second, volunteer! Our parents & teen volunteers make our programs and events happen. Whether you can give an hour this year, an hour a week, we have a volunteer job for you. Finally, contribute! You can provide financial support through our annual fundraising campaign. Each year Thunderbolt PFA embarks on a single, annual fundraising campaign, and everyone's participation is critical. You can show that you care about your student and the learning community at TBE by contributing to the campaign. Your PFA's budget pays for the schools Accelerated Reader program, supplemental curriculum like Weekly Readers and A-Z Program, learning support, enrichment programs and family events. Your donation ensures that we can offer our full programming and services as well as plan for future improvements such as updating technology in the classrooms as well as updating playground equipment. Thank you and I look forward to another great year at TBE! Gwen Mehler |
