Hi There,

It was great to be a part of the first PTA Meeting, I’m looking forward to a great year… my first year as an active member!

I know that we want to move fast with the cookbook fundraiser, so I put together a draft flyer for the fundraising members to take a look at. I didn’t catch a lot of the specifics on the submittal process so I’ve left a space for additional information. I sent a copy and attachment of the draft flyer to brattainpta@gmail.com. Please feel free to edit as you see fit or you can contact me and I will edit.

If we decide to use a flyer for this, I will be happy to bring it by the school tomorrow after work so that it will be ready to pass out to students early next week.

Please feel free to contact me at the numbers below.
