Past Letters from the PTA President
August 2007
Welcome to the 2007-08 school year at Nolan Elementary. Starting a new school year is always an exciting time – new school supplies, new teachers and friends -- a new beginning. This year you will see several new things at Nolan – new teachers and technology, as well as new neighbors and friends due to growth in our community. The new Signal Mountain Middle/High School is also under construction, which brings to Nolan a new face (Principal, Eddie Gravitte), and a new vision of the future. It is truly an exciting time!
With all that’s new at Nolan, one thing that remains the same is the need for parental involvement in our school. Francis Keppel, a former U.S. Commissioner of Education, once said, “Education is too important to be left solely to the educators.” I believe Mr. Keppel is right on target! Nolan has a strong history of parental involvement and I challenge you to join me in building on that foundation. Get involved in your child’s education. Get to know your child’s teachers, friends and school by volunteering in the classroom, reviewing homework, and serving through the PTA. Join your child for lunch, class trips and parties. Attend PTA meetings regularly.
Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Let’s work together to equip our children to that end!
Looking for you at Nolan!
