What a great year we have had!  It takes so many people to run a PTA and I am so thankful for YOU!  Our school has a wonderful community with so many willing volunteers-it truly takes a village!  I cannot express how thankful I am to the PTA Executive Board and each PTA Committee Chair for all that they have invested into our school to make all of our events and behind-the-scenes happenings successful!  It is a special bunch of people!

This last month of school is going to be fast and furious, but most importantly, FUN!  But again, for events to be successful, we need plenty of volunteers.  Please see below for sign-up geniuses to help out at our last few events of the school year.

I would like to invite everyone to our last General PTA Meeting of the year on Tuesday, May 12th and Brunch at Lori Tritsch's home after!  We will be swearing in our new Executive Board and have a few awards to give out.  

Thank you!

Trailwood dads and father-figures, time is running out to volunteer as a Wingman this school year!

Please consider taking a half-day or full-day out of your busy schedules and spending some time at Trailwood as a Wingman during the month of May! This is a great opportunity to interact with the kids and see what they do every day!
