Dear Parents,

We are looking forward to the start of a new school year at Arlington Heights.

As many of you have noticed there has been construction on our campus. The

building is getting all new windows, paint, theatrical lights in the auditorium,

power washing, and upgrades to water fountains, bathrooms, sidewalks and

parking lots. These projects are paid for by our school district funds and will

help keep our school looking clean and kept. I feel certain that most of us are

aware of the state budgetary constraints that have kept our schools from

having some extra advantages and this is why I am reaching out to you today.

gap. Now more than ever parents are being asked to make sacrifices to

help make our school the best it can be.

Items provided by monies raised by the PTA last year are banners on the

baseball field, west parking lot, and football field. Also a new black iron fence

that borders the east side of the campus. In addition to these physical items,

PTA also provides our teachers yearly with monthly red apple treats, faculty

luncheons from each class, teacher appreciation week items, Homecoming

parade and floats, Senior Celebration and scholarship money for deserving

students.

Registration week is August 20-25 and Senior Celebration Auction is August 18,

these events are your first opportunity to start giving. Our budget comes from

PTA dues, merchandise sales, snack days and donations. I ask that every family

PTA. Please make it a priority to join for $15/family, buy a T-shirt and sign up

to volunteer your time. Help us make a difference for our students and faculty!

Sincerely,

Donna Dozier

PTA President 2012-13
