I hope to see you at the next PTA meeting on Tuesday at 6 PM, October 13 (location to be confirmed). You can also shop the Book Fair in the Media Center and pick up some great new books or plan ahead and purchase Christmas gifts!!

If you haven’t done so already, take a minute to join the PTA.  You can find the membership form under the forms section of this web site, or just click on 2015 Membership Form to get to the printable copy.  This can be turned in with your child to his/her teacher.  The next PTA meeting is Tuesday at 6 PM, September 8 in the cafeteria.  We hope to see you there! After the meeting Baucom will hold it’s Curriculum Night from 6:30 to 8:00.

Keep up the good work with the Go, Play, Save coupon book sales and the No Hassle Fundraiser contributions! We only hold 4 fundraisers throughout the year, so participation is crucial and very much appreciated. The coupon book has been a Baucom tradition for a while and it is full of great savings for our families.  Go, Play, Save will end on September 8. In addition, we decided several years ago that we did NOT want to participate in any sales-fundraiser as the products were not fabulous and the man-power to make it successful was just not worth the measly 35%-40% the companies gave back to the PTA. With our No Hassle Fundraiser, we get 100% of the funds raised and our parents do not have to take orders from their co-workers, family and neighbors and then deliver the items back to them!

Thanks again for all you do for our school and students and I hope you have a fantastic long Labor Day weekend!

The next PTA meeting is scheduled for August 11th at 6 PM in the media center. Please be advised that we will be VOTING on our operating budget at this meeting so we will need enough members in attendance to complete this vote (20).

The next PTA meeting is scheduled for May 12th at 6 PM in the media center. Please be advised that we will be VOTING on next year’s budget at this meeting so we will need enough members in attendance to complete this vote.
