#BestWorstYearEver2020
Hello Families.

Per our PTA By-Laws, we need to elect a Nominating Committee of five members and one alternate to solicit interest and propose a slate of candidates for next year’s PTA Officers/Executive Board.
The Nominating Committee will be elected at the PTA’s General Meeting on March 9, and will propose a slate of candidates for announcement at least one month in advance of our annual election meeting in June.
We would ideally like to have a diverse Nominating Committee to identify a diverse slate of nominees.
Please contact nishuaneboard@gmail.com, or any current member of our PTA Executive Board, if you would like to serve on our Nominating Committee this year.
Nishuane Families,
Please see this link for our library of children’s books for Black History Month and always! These are great books for your children to read or you to read to and with them! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Blcsg1t3U6bm4fVxxyVWYJVvXipjoYt7vycrjbNfE3g/present
