Thank you to all who made our Gill 2011 Fun Run a success!

It was chilly with blue skies on Monday and everyone reported having a wonderful time.  Here are some informational tidbits:

• We raised close to $16,000!
• 245 students turned in pledges of our 540 total student body – that’s 45% participation!
• Of the 245 students that turned in pledges, 46% met or surpassed the $75 per student goal!

Thank you to our volunteers, reward sponsors, staff, parents & students for working together to enable us to move forward with much needed and planned educational events for our students at Gill during this academic year!

The number one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit your child.  In doing so, you also help Gill.  But there are many more advantages.  Here are just a few:

Get Connected

There is no better way to know what's happening in Gill and in the community.  Meetings features principal and district updates and legislative happenings affecting your child's education.

Have you joined Gill's PTA yet?

Gill's annual membership drive is underway and we STILL need your help!! When you join the PTA, you are not only helping the school, you are helping your child. Gill's PTA provides the financial and volunteer resources for our school to provide your child with enriching activities - social and academic.

Dues are $7 for an individual and $10 for a family. Click HERE for the membership form

Please note: when you join the PTA, your family will receive a copy of this year's directory. The directory is a great resource since it provides teacher and classroom contact information for the school.

VOL NTEE

Did you notice "U R" missing? Yes, we need you to help continue the work of Gill PTA next school year. Our PTA is a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for the education and well-being of every child. We are dedicated to promoting children’s educational success as well as physical and social well-being through strong parent, family, teacher and community involvement.

If you've ever attended Family Science Night, the February theme dance or the Spring Social, you have experienced the work of Gill PTA first hand. Did you also know that Gill PTA is also the sponsor of Math Pentathlon, Math Olympiads, WordMasters, Junior Great Books, Motor Moms & Dads, Family Reading Night, school assemblies, teacher grants and so much more? Just email this year's chair or officer to get started in volunteering.

For every Gill student, the PTA associates $50 towards events, activities, and equipment not covered by district resources.  In addiotion to financial support, we volunteer thousands of hours eaceh year.  Fundraising allows us to consider these activities.
