From the Parents Association 6-6-2008
Parents Association Co-chair Thank You!
As the 2007-2008 school year draws to a close, we would like to thank all of you who have given your time, talent, and resources on behalf of the Parents Association, administration, faculty and children of Presidio Hill School. Because of you, the Parents Association has successfully sponsored many fun and community building events throughout the year, and thereby created a positive spirit and supportive environment that we can all be a part of. From the Fall Gathering and the Walkathon to Mayfest and the Faculty and Staff Appreciation Luncheon, the Parents Association offers a full line-up of social events for the PHS community from September to June.
Special thanks to all of the Parents Association Room Parents, Event Chairs and Ongoing Activities Chairs for their tireless work in chairing and assisting with Parents Association events this year. Thank you to the following parents who served as Room Parents, keeping everyone informed and involved throughout the year: Irene Merry, Christina Murphy, Stace Remy, Jill Chase, Audrey Yee, Amy Sparrow, Laura Roe, Laura Rattay-Maloney, Louise Gregory, Claire Barnum, Jaime Thomas, Janey Colosimo, Erin Roach, Nicole Leong, Rita Fahrner, Michial Arnold, Louise Bonham and Tracy Schafer. Thank you Laura Rattay-Maloney, Tineke Triggs, Jo Cummins, Kathie Albayrak, Jill Chase, Ronice Lee, Darlene Fong, Noel Kaufman, Kate Moses, Liz Ranieri Kuth, Leslie Roberts and Ed Barosky for the wonderful job you did working with Amy Pearson in Admissions. Jaime Thomas and Dorte Lindhardt, thanks so much for organizing a wonderful Fall Gathering. Thanks to Minette Kwok, Jaime Thomas, Biz Morris and Julie Marcus for well executed and high spirited Walkathon. The Book Fair was not only fun, but keeps us all reading, thanks to Leslie Roberts. Jaime Thomas provided Grandparents and Special Friends with a very special day here at PHS with their host students. Thank you to Audrey Sadler and Nicole Grindle for this spring’s fabulous Mayfest celebration. Jaime Thomas and Kathy McBride will be presenting a beautiful luncheon to faculty and staff in June. Heartfelt thanks to the chairs of the many ongoing events here at PHS. Irene Merry made sure that there were always curbside greeters welcoming the children each and every school day. John Musgrove gave the community a place to gather each Friday with Curbside Coffee. The faculty and staff loved the Soup days that warmed the rainy winter days and look forward to next year’s menu.
Thank you to the volunteers who support all the Chairs and Room Parents throughout the year. So many of you parents out there volunteer in innumerable ways—large and small—that keep our school and classrooms running smoothly. Without you there would be no Parents Association. Although we can’t name you all here, your hard work and dedication are felt each and every day.
Lastly, we would like to thank Brian Thomas, Namrata Gupta, Ann Meissner and Lisa Jeli for your input and ongoing support. Thank you to Tania Hurter and Martin Gross for helping us learn the ropes and supporting our efforts.
We’ll be back as Parents Association Co-Chairs next year and we look forward to working with PHS parents whose spirit, energy and enthusiasm make our jobs easy. Thank you everyone for making this a great year. Wishing you a relaxing, restful, and restorative summer vacation.
