One Thing – Over the next few days, I’ll be sending a One Thing email. The idea is that you can forward this One Thing to the person or people on your PTA / PTSA board who can help you with this.
Founder’s Day is March 2nd @6:30pm and you don’t want to miss this magical evening at the newly renovated Hillcrest High School!
Tickets are $18 with tables of 8 people for $144.
Tickets can be purchased through Springfield Council of PTA’s.
Don’t forget to invite your administration!
Get ready to celebrate your volunteers at a night to remember!
The deadline is February 16 (more or less)! Please submit a picture of your volunteer of the year, their name, and if they would like to, have them submit their “why”. Please submit volunteer of the year information to jwrightwigginton@gmail.com. Please send ticket money using this form (or pay via paypal on our website scptamo.com) https://scptamo.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/dues-and-donations-reporting-form-for-units.2022-1.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1c6f1MU0Bn7CQuYFF9gWQnEU8fIKecjjPfPunu-gWZo2UoPNFEewK7ars
Today’s One Thing is The PTA Clothing Bank! (January 24, 2023)
We’ve been inundated with donations (which is a good thing)! We really need your help getting these donations sorted.
I noticed one PTA organizing a meet for breakfast, then going to work at the Clothing Bank together. What do you think?
Our next two days for volunteering are Thurs. Jan 26 & Thurs. Feb. 9 – 10:00am – 4:30pm.
Please let Taryn know when you can help – clothingbank@scptamo.com

One Thing – Reflections Winners!!! (January 26, 2023)
Congratulations to our Council Reflections winners!

As is our custom, when school is cancelled for any reason, we also cancel our Springfield Council of PTAs meetings. Our meeting scheduled for February is cancelled due to school closing due to inclement weather.
Our next meeting will be Wed. March 1 and will be our annual School Board Candidate forum at at 9:30am at Delaware Elementary.
As part of our service to the community, each year the Springfield Council of PTAs hosts a school board candidate forum prior to the election. This year the forum will be held Wednesday, March 1, 2023, as part of our monthly meeting at Delaware Elementary School (1505 S Delaware Ave, Springfield, MO 65804), beginning at 9:30am. All candidates have been invited to participate and will have equal opportunity for answering questions. This is a Q&A forum and not a debate.
Springfield Council of PTAs is made up of parents, teachers, school administrators and students in Springfield. Due to the PTA’s non-profit 501(c)(3) status, PTAs cannot support or oppose candidates for public office, rate candidates in any fashion, conduct research or analysis for a candidate or give membership lists to candidates. However, we can sponsor public forums such as this in which all candidates are invited to participate. We look forward to hosting this event for you, our members, so that you can make an informed decision when you head to the polls to vote on April 4.
Please plan to join us at our March meeting and enjoy another snow day!
