PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Current Newsletter (pdf
format)
SPRING HAS FINALLY
ARRIVED!! Daffodils are blooming, evenings are brighter and
PTSA is busy as bees! The Founder’s Day Banquet held on
March 7th was a success! We were able to honor
our 2008 Golden Acorn winners….Susan Jung, Pam Dore, Pam
Warner as well as last year’s winner, Steve Trunkey. All of
these wonderful people put in countless hours and are
dedicated to our staff and students. We also were
privileged to honor the Outstanding Educator of the Year
award to Corrine Thompson. Mrs. Thompson is a devoted
teacher that gives to her students whole-heartedly. She
takes care of the ‘sevies’ and attends all the student
activities. Their success in school is her top priority!
Our own Frank Warner was also awarded the Community
Partnership Award. Frank is a local businessman that
volunteers his time to educate parents on how to fund their
children’s higher education through the ‘Cash for College’
seminars. Also, our Co-President, Leah Meadows, was awarded
the Outstanding Service Award for the many volunteer
activities she is involved with as well as speaking on
behalf of MADD to high schools in the area about the dangers
of drinking and driving. Congratulations to all our winners
and for helping make CKJH the best school in the state!
As spring begins and we prepare for the rest of the school
year, there are many opportunities to get involved! At the
General Meeting on March 18th, our nominating
committee was elected and they will begin the process of
filling the slate for next year’s officers. We would
encourage everyone to step out and be a voice for our
students. Offices available are President, Vice President,
Secretary, and Treasurer as well as many committee chairs.
If you have questions about any of the positions please
contact Pam Warner 698-7292 or Bob Englemann 698-3144. We
currently have a membership total of 420! That is the
highest parent involvement in the district! We would love to
see this legacy continued for years to come!
WASL for 7th and 8th
graders will be April 14-18. PTSA will provide bottled water
and granola bars for our students, but we need donations.
Please drop off cases of water and/or boxes of granola bars
in the office labeled WASL. Also, check out our new
bulletin board across from the office! It has all current
officers, newsletters, recent events and contact information
displayed. The Teen Stress and Depression Workshop will be
held April 9 in the library. If you would like to gain some
knowledge on how to help a struggling teen, please attend
this valuable workshop. PTSA will also be sponsoring an
Internet Safety Presentation on May 7th at 6:30.
Dangers on the internet will be explored as well as how to
protect your children from them. A Seattle detective with
expertise in the field will be speaking and answering
questions. There are many ways to be involved at CKJH. We
always need dance chaperones, food donations, concession and
Walkabout volunteers, Box Tops, etc. !!…..It’s never too
late to help!!
Hope you all have a fun and
relaxing Spring Break!!
Leah Meadows and Terri Romero Co-
Presidents
