PTA President's Message - January 2010Hello Arlington Families, Happy New Year!!! 2010!!! Wow…. Hope everyone had a wonderful and happy holiday season and enjoyed the time off with your family and friends!!! Prior to winter break, in November, The Reflections Contest came to an end. Good job to all the many students who participated this year and showcased your amazing talents and creativity. Word has it, one of Arlington’s very own Superstars placed first in one of the categories at the Torrance District level. Congratulations to that individual. I don’t want to ruin any surprises but in time (if not already), that Superstar’s name will be revealed. Thank you to Jan Nguyen and Terie Tinsley for chairing this event. AIA’s second project of the year titled “My Blue Dog” got underway. Children were given the chance to replicate George Rodrigue’s painting by first drawing it with a grid system and then painting with acrylic paints. Thank you to the many AIA docents, parent volunteers and chair Chris Mason and supplies chair Cayme Momita for your countless, dedicated hours. December marked the start of holiday giving and this year Arlington’s Holiday Giving benefited the 1736 House. The items requested were brightly displayed on a bulletin board in front of the office and the items collected were delivered to their holiday gift shop. Thank you to everyone for your caring and for your generosity. Surely, you helped to brighten the holiday season of others who may not be so fortunate. Thank you to Dawn Sawyer for organizing this heartfelt event. The 2nd PTA Association Meeting of the year was held on Thursday, December 10th. Immediately following the meeting, our Superstar 2nd Graders treated a standing room only audience to “A Bear-y Merry Holiday” program performance. Thank you to all the 2nd grade teachers and students for your wonderful performance and for getting everyone into the holiday spirit!!! And lastly, before we parted for our winter break, we had a visit from someone who came to see our amazing Arlington Superstars and I am guessing that is why he took the time out of his busy schedule to visit because of just that reason... Arlington being simply amazing!!! Before we proceed with the remainder of the school year, I just want to say thank you to all of our Arlington families and friends, our teachers and administrators, our dedicated PTA group, and our many, many volunteers for all you do and your continuous support of our Arlington children. Our children are our future…. Looking forward to the rest of the school year!!! Have a great year!!! Respectfully.
