Welcome Claremont Families
August 27, 2010
The PTA welcomes new families to Claremont and looks forward to reconnecting with returning Claremont families. The Claremont community is a special one; the school administration, staff, teachers, parents and students join together to create a close-knit and supportive community. We are all excited about the upcoming year, and I look forward to working with you to support the Claremont family. To officially kick things off, please note three key dates we invite you to attend:
- Back to School Ice Cream Social – September 13th at 6:30 pm
- First PTA Meeting – September 14th at 7 pm
- School Pictures – September 15th
The PTA’s efforts to enhance the Claremont experience for your child and the school include fundraising and volunteering. To that end, Claremont has a very active and enthusiastic PTA. The money the PTA raised last year came from parents who donated time and/or money to Claremont by participating in fundraisers, such as Sally Foster, book fairs, class photos, the silent auction, grocery store club cards, and school supplies through the PTA. These funds were used for classroom resources and technology, after-school enrichment scholarships, teacher, administration and staff appreciation activities, teacher grants and professional development, library books, a Read Across America speaker, music and art activities, Spanish-language materials, school events and holiday happenings, the directory, school garden benches, patrols, Odyssey of the Mind, and social opportunities for the community. What a difference volunteers make!
We hope you will join in and become part of the PTA’s efforts. Parental involvement is key to a successful school, and volunteers definitely make things happen at Claremont!

Las principales actividades el PTA incluyen recaudación de fondos y voluntariado. El dinero recaudado por el PTA el año pasado provino de donaciones de padres que participaron de actividades como Sally Foster, la feria del libro, las fotos de las clases, la subasta silenciosa, el programa de donaciones de los supermercados, y la compra de útiles escolares a través del PTA.
Estos fondos se usaron para mejorar los recursos tecnológicos de los salones de clases, pagar becas para actividades de enriquecimiento después de la escuela, actividades en honor de los profesores y el personal administrativo subsidios para desarrollo profesional de los profesores, libros para la biblioteca, actividades musicales y artísticas eventos sociales, el directorio de padres, las bancas de la jardín, las patrullas de seguridad, el programa Odyssey of the Mind, y mucho más.
Esperamos que se hagan miembros del PTA y nos ayuden con las actividades arriba mencionadas. La participación de los padres es la clave para el éxito de la escuela, y los voluntarios hacen la diferencia en Claremont.

Homeroom Parents Volunteers Needed
August 12, 2010
Taking part in your child’s education is one of the most important things a parent can do. One way to get involved is to volunteer as your child’s Homeroom Parent.
Homeroom parent volunteers serve as the liaisons between the school, the teachers and the classes. Helping the PTA organize fun classroom events is the main responsibility of homeroom parent volunteers. The homeroom parent volunteers are not expected to do everything themselves; rather, they coordinate volunteers from their child’s class to ensure fun, successful events for everyone. We have outlined the general responsibilities of the homeroom parent volunteers:
- Help your child’s teacher plan and execute the four class parties held each school year: Halloween, Time of Giving (December), Valentine’s Day, and the End of Year Picnic
- Coordinate classroom parents to serve pie for the Thankful Lunch in November.
- Coordinate classroom parents to serve ice cream for Field Day in June.
- Help gather class contributions for the Silent Auction.
- This involves choosing a theme and coordinating with the classroom parents to create an item that will be auctioned off at the Silent Auction.
- Coordinate meals and snacks for teachers during teacher conferences and teacher and staff Appreciation Weeks.
If you are interested in being a Homeroom Parent Volunteer, please sign up with your child’s teacher at Back-to-School Night on September 22, 2010.
Sincerely,
Vicky Kelly—Committee Chair
Cindy MacIntyre – Committee Chair
Yvette Delgado – Committee Chair
