Trace Salmon, president of the King School Parent-Teacher Association, writes us:

“The King PTA started out with six members in 2008 after having been inactive for a number of years.  Last year, membership in the PTA was 40, and there were about that many people in attendance at our first meeting this year.  The revitalization our neighborhood school PTA would not have been possible without a group of parents who, without hesitation, give of their time and skills to achieve an ever-increasing level of parent participation.

“Members of the PTA have been active in the selection of the new principal, and we work to compliment her role in increasing student achievement and implementing the International Baccalaureate program.  Among the PTA’s goals this year are 100 memberships; the establishment of an annual auction to fund PTA activities & teacher support; more fun events for the entire school community to build the personal relationships and networks, and connection of the school into the larger community – which is necessary if the school is to succeed.

“Please join our efforts! You can reach us at info@kingpta.org.”
