President's Corner

Dear Dooley Families,

Welcome back to Dooley and a great big welcome and hello to those who are new to our school! I hope you all had a great summer and are ready to delve into a new school year with high hopes and expectations. We are lucky to have a fabulous group of teachers and staff dedicated to guiding our children through their elementary school experience.

By joining Dooley PTA you can make a statement that you also support the mission and activities of our school. Parents who are dedicated to providing a first class learning environment for our children provide support through:

volunteering their time in the classrooms · maintaining our website · printing our student directory · writing our newsletter · providing assemblies and workshops
Watch D.O.G.S. and mentoring

organizing activities such as:

Family Nights, Walk-a-Thon, Family Dine Outs and Book Fair

There are many places where you can see evidence of the hard work PTA parent volunteers do to make Dooley a great learning place for our children. With these things in mind I hope you will take a close look at the Dooley School Calendar and Volunteer Interests packet that will be coming home in your student packets. Please take a moment and look at the upcoming events and see what piques your interest. Consider the important role your Dooley PTA plays in your child's life at school.

We encourage and invite you to join in our efforts to advocate for our children. When you join your PTA, you get a vote in an organization where you can voice your concerns, and work with others towards common goals. Please contact me by email president@dooleypta.org, or by phone at 972-633-8477 if you would like to learn about ways you can become involved.

4 Our Kids,
Julie Truex, President
