Region Director Message
It’s been a busy start to the new school year for everyone, from Open
House & membership drives, plus Fall Fundraisers & Carnivals!!
I would like to give a big thank you to all the local units and councils
who have completed the Bylaws Trainings (you know who you are).
Our Fall Conference and PTA & the Law had a fantastic turnout. See
page 3 for another PTA & the Law in January. If you have officers
who are in need of training, this is a great opportunity to fulfill that
requirement. You will be notified soon if you have board members
who are in that situation.
If your local unit/council have recently changed elected officers
please let both Melissa Anderson manderson@wastatepta.org (at
State) as well as myself know monikascotti66@gmail.com.
I was so happy to see so many membership forms come my way this
year. I plan to join every single PTA that asked me, and remind you
to please mail me a membership card, once my form has been
processed.
As the holidays approach take time out for yourself and enjoy your
family. PTA can and will survive without you for a couple of days.
Happy Holidays to each and every one of you and thank you for ALL
that YOU do for our kids.

North Kitsap PTA Council began
the year by helping save one unit
from dissolution. Thank you to
Council Secretary, Kathy Sheriff
and Regional Director, Monika
Scotti, for their efforts to work
with school principals and parents
to keep the unit alive. We are
fortunate to have principals who
see the value and significance of a
strong PTA in the school.
