PTA

Welcome to a new school year from the Hampton Township Mckeown School Parent Teacher Association. The Mckeown School PTA is a collaborative partnership between our school, our families, and our community which focuses on the children: the children in your home, the children in our school, and the children in our community. If this is your first year at Mckeown School, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to each of you. If you are a “seasoned” Mckeown family, I know that you are as excited as we are to be starting the school year again.

As I embark on the second year of my first term as your PTA President, I am looking forward to continuing the working partnership we have established with the Board of Education, administration, our amazing teachers, and our invaluable staff to provide an excellent learning experience for our children.

I encourage each one of you to become a part of our team. The number one reason to join the PTA is to benefit all the children. In doing so, you help us achieve that goal. Here are some of the many advantages:

*By becoming a member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
By volunteering with your PTA, you gain valuable experience and personal confidence. It's an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a good cause.
By getting involved, you’ll be part of the solution, helping to make positive change.
PTA functions provide opportunities to meet parents and teachers.
The PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas; attending the PTA Association meetings throughout the year allows members to make suggestions and provide input.

Something that we can use help with this year is fundraising. We spend a lot of money on programs and events that enhance our children’s learning experience. As we continue from year to year, we like to add more events, activities, and enrichment. Yet, in doing so, we need more funds to allow for these programs. If you have any ideas or would like to help in any way, please contact me.

PTA believes that together, we can make every child’s potential a reality

Thank you, and have a great year!!!

Sincerely,

Theresa Doyle-Rathbun

PTA President
