Coates PTA News

We had a great first meeting on Monday night where we approved our budget for this year and elected a new executive board. 

 We are excited to welcome the leadership of Valina Kelly (president), Dipika Gupta (vice-president), & Malini Madras (treasurer)!  Future meeting and opportunities to volunteer or otherwise support PTA activities will be announced soon.  For now, we encourage all parents and teachers to formally join PTA (membership info, including PayPal link is here).  Thanks to the many who have already joined!  Coates PTA thanks our outgoing president, Mrs. Tisha Bowman, for her service and wishes a fond farewell to Mr. Kraft.  We look forward to supporting the next school administration and promoting a strong sense of community among our amazing families.
