Welcome Back!

I'd like to welcome you to Chestnut Elementary PTA! My name is Amy Basco and I am the Chestnut Elementary PTA President for the 2009-2010 school year. My husband Frank and I have two children; our son JT will be in first grade and our daughter Josie will be in Kindergarten. I work part time at a local pool and I am excited to work with all of you for Chestnut Elementary PTA.

We have lots to do this year beginning with our Membership Campaign! We will have a table at Kindergarten Orientation and Meet the Teacher Night. I am recruiting current members to help during these two events. (Remember, your 2008-2009 membership doesn't expire until September 30!) Want to help but don't want to come alone? Bring a friend and ask them to join. Anyone interested in the well-being of our students can be a PTA member. For more information or to sign up to help, email me at chestnutpta@yahoo.com

I look forward to meeting all of you again this year! Have a great end to your summer vacation!
~Amy
