PTA President's Message - December 2007

Hello Arlington Families,

Wow, this year has sped by in the blink of an eye. Thanks to all the families who came out to get their shopping started at our annual Holiday Marketplace. Deanna Takahashi did a terrific job coordinating all the vendors to make this PTA event successful. Thanks also to the many volunteers who manned the bake sale booths and the fifth grade food booths they were the hit of the Marketplace! Thanks also to all the parents who donated food for these booths and to Mr. Kamida and his musically gifted students who provided entertainment.

The holiday season is upon us. It is time for enjoying traditions with friends and family and making memories to cherish. Our own Arlington traditions have started as well. Take a look at the bulletin board as you drop your children off in the morning. This year Arlington families have an opportunity to help the School on Wheels Program, which brings school to kids in shelters who have no school. Take a school bus with donation requests and have your child pick up some supplies and help those less fortunate. Look for a box in front of the office to drop off your donations. Thanks to Linda Corello for coordinating this program. We will also be having our Annual Holiday Program on Thursday, December 13th, at 6:30pm, with entertainment provided by the first grade students. There will be a brief PTA association meeting prior to the program with refreshments provided by the PTA. I hope you will take a few moments to join us.

Throughout this busy holiday, I hope you will be able to take some time to relax and enjoy the season as you celebrate with family and friends. Please stay safe as we enter into 2008.

Wishing you and your families a wonderful Holiday and a joyous New Year.

Together We Can,

Miho Noda
PTA President
