Program 100....

Get 100 parents to join the East Antioch Elementary PTA Facebook Group.

OK.... I did my part, and now I need you to do yours. Even not knowing many people at the school I was able to invite four parents to our PTA facebook group today. How many have you sent invitations to? It would be nice to get 100 parents on board with us before the Ice Cream Social. So bring at least two parents on board and then ask them to do the same and in no time we can reach 100 members.

Spread the word. Panther PTA is HERE!

Since I am pretty new to the school, and all of the people I know are already on here, I am challenging everyone to make at least two contacts via email, phone, in person or even by two cans and a string. Most of us all know at least two parents at our school. So contact them today and spread the word so that our school can use this blog and the facebook group to better serve our school community this year. If you are not following our blog, please click on it so you can see yourself as a follower. All the cool kids are doing it, and it lets others know you are in the loop. Thanks for your support.
