PTA

The East Rochester School PTA Welcomes You!

The staff and students at the East Rochester School are looking forward to an exciting new school year and would like to invite you to become an integral part of our school by joining our PTA. This year’s officers are as follows: Nicole Leclerc, President, Shirley Creteau, Vice President, Carolann Simpson, Treasurer, Marcy Cook, Secretary. We welcome fresh, innovative ideas and new perspectives to ensure the best interests of our students and school. Without the PTA, we would be very limited in what enrichment activities, etc., that we could offer our students. It takes caring, involved parents like you to make it the success we have been so fortunate to achieve.

Our first PTA meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 4th. PTA meetings will be on a rotating schedule each month (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 6:00-7:00 p.m., which means our meeting for October will be on the 1st Thursday of the month.

The yearly membership fee is $4.00 which entitles you to vote on some very important issues, decisions and expenditures. Also, you automatically become a member of the New Hampshire PTA.

Join us any way you can – be it monetarily, through volunteering, special events and other fundraising. You are not obligated to attend each and every monthly meeting. We ask that you read the monthly agendas that come home and if you have an interest or concern, then come to that particular meeting. We do encourage you to attend as much as possible, as we discuss many topics. Relax, speak your mind, throw out some fresh new thoughts – that’s what makes our PTA work – lots of people with lots to give.

To get a feel for what we do annually, and what you can become involved in for the future, here is a list of what we have accomplished over the past several years:
September – PTA membership drive (we hope you can join), Fall fundraiser, Open House, Ice Cream Social.
October – Harvest Social (Harvest night or family dance), School Store (The Cougar’s Cage which will be open weekly throughout the school year), class field trip planning.
December – Library Book Fair.
January & February – Another family fun night and Penny Jar Contest.
March, April, and May – Field trips, family dances with DJ & raffles, volunteer and staff appreciation weeks, science fair student awards, library book fair.
June – City wide track meet, 5th grade celebration (student gift, class legacy gift), ERS Fun Day.

The following items were either purchased or sponsored by the PTA: school beautification with flowers and shrubs, ERS sign, ERS banner, the Cougar’s Cage (School Store), 5th grade legacy gift, school popcorn machine, family fun dances/socials, volunteer and staff appreciation week, class field trips, city-wide track meet t-shirts, Title I Workshops, staff reimbursement for classroom supplies, annual yearbook contribution, student planners, classroom subscriptions and periodicals, school science fair donation, Spaulding High School Scholarship, monthly literacy activity donation, annual fall fundraiser, penny jar contest, ERS Fun Day, printing of the school handbook and various other small fundraisers throughout the year.
