Our first meeting will be held Tuesday, September 13 at 5:15 p.m., and we are so excited!

And as a working parent, I know your time is valuable, and our kids have homework to do - so I promise this meeting will be quick.

In fact, all of our meetings will now be quick. And they will have a purpose. Beginning in October, we will be combining our meeting time with a quick activity, generally something the school or a teacher needs. We could be helping shelve books. We could be helping decorate a hallway. We could be helping cut out parts of an art project. But your time is valuable, so we're going to make the most of it.

Please join us for this brief meeting tomorrow.

Nuestra primera reunión será el martes , 13 de septiembre a 17:15 , y estamos muy emocionados !

Y como un padre que trabaja , sé que su tiempo es valioso , y que los niños tienen que hacer la tarea - por lo que prometer esta reunión será rápido .

De hecho , todas nuestras reuniones ahora será rápido . Y van a tener un propósito. A partir de octubre , vamos a combinar nuestra hora de encuentro con una actividad rápida , por lo general hay algo que necesita la escuela o un maestro . Podríamos estar ayudando a dejar de lado los libros . Podríamos estar ayudando a decorar un pasillo . Podríamos estar ayudando a cortar partes de un proyecto de arte . Pero su tiempo es valioso , por lo que vamos a sacar el máximo provecho de ella .

Por favor , únase a nosotros el martes.

Before we all parted ways for the summer, this school celebrated some amazing things. From a beautiful mosaic mural in the entry, thanks to BigThought, to news that we would become one of Dallas ISD's newest dual-language Spanish immersion programs, to being picked for a Real School Garden (keep an eye out for news about our Big Dig this fall!). 

If you're new to the neighborhood, or have been here a while and are beginning to look at public schools, we welcome you on our campus. In fact, we welcome all our neighbors to come see the wonderful changes we have made and are making, and to see our happy and smart students. 

This PTA is happy and proud to serve our students, parents and faculty at Foster. We're so excited about the projects and fun we have planned for the next school year - bookmark us here and join our Facebook group to find out the latest.

Have a great summer, and we'll see you in August, ready to work hard, get smart, and go to college.
