SAVE THE
DATE FOR
FOCUS DAY,
AND PLAN ON
BRINGING
YOUR
CHILDREN
WSPTA’s
Focus Day
has been
scheduled
for
Monday,
January 18,
2010.
Mark your
calendar now
and plan to
join PTA
members from
all over the
state as we
come
together in
support of
our
children.
This year’s
event
coincides
with the
Martin
Luther King
holiday,
which gives
us an
opportunity
to observe
the 40th
anniversary
of the
merger of
National PTA
with the
National
Congress of
Colored
Parents and
Teachers.
In addition,
because it
is a school
holiday,
you’ll be
able to
bring your
children for
a great
learning
experience.
