Note to our awesome PTA dads
|
This month in honor of Father's Day, I want to take a moment to highlight one of our PTA's underrepresented groups - our PTA dads. As we walk the campus, it's moms who generally take over a great majority of kid duties so it's fantastic that these dads are on our campus and willing to help out where they can. Moms, you can never be replaced but we sure want to encourage more dads to come out and volunteer.
A big shout out to the following dads who helped in leadership roles for 2018 PTA programs:
Bob Marinas
: Executive Board - auditor and library helper
Nandan Sarkar: Weekly communicator and website chair
Doug Meyer: Adventures in Art chair and AIA docent
Alan Matsumoto
: Scholarship chair and yearbook photographer
Phil Hong
: Talent Show chair
Jimegh Chapman
: Local Heroes chair
Chris Stewart and Mike Mattie
: Book Fair helpers
There are numerous dads who volunteer in areas that are not
PTA programs, but are instrumental to the Anza community and part of what makes Anza great:
EEA president, Academic Pentathlon coaches, 5th grade Pasta and Chili Night,
track coaches, valet assistants and all the dads who help in the classrooms on a weekly basis during small groups.
In this
PTA world of moms, I thank you dads for stepping out of your comfort zone and doing what you do for Anza. We can use more dads in leadership. Hope you will come out and join
PTA.
Sincerely,
Monique Akker
2017-2018 PTA president

| AFTER SCHOOL / ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS (NON-ANZA) |
Dear Anza Parents,
Anza is striving to go paperless! With this effort we will not be distributing after school program flyers on a regular basis. If you would be interested in a class, please click below to find out what programs are available or check in the office to see if there might be a hard copy for you. Please note, these partners have no affiliations to Anza Elementary and our school does not profit from these programs. This link will remain on the Communicator for your convenience and will typically be found at the bottom of the email.
Thanks!
