We’d like to extend a warm Cradlerock welcome to Sheyli Ribeiro, Treasurer and Robin Benfer, Secretary. Wendy Newton will return as President. Three open positions remain for Vice President, and everyone is encouraged to consider joining the executive board!

We are excited to get this year rolling and are delighted that a number of active members from last year are returning to fill roles like membership, PTA Council, and a host of others. We’re still wiping the last rays of summer from our eyes and will be out with something more formal soon.

What’s in store for this year? We hope to bring all the regular community activities from the Back to School Picnic, Trunk N’ Treat, Restaurant Nights, and the Carnival. In addition, we’re  hoping to add a vibrant International Night and a handful of other activities.

You’ll likely be hearing more for us about ways we can bring financial support to the school in the form of the Box Tops for Education Program, Giant Bonus Bucks sign up, Give with Target and maybe even Basket Bingo!

To join the party, we’d love for you to share the traditions and culture your family practices. In fact, we’re hoping to cover a map of the world with the Cradlerock family!

Here is how you can help us get started:

• volunteer cook a traditional dish to share
• wear traditional clothing on 2/22
• create an educational display
• offer to perform a dance, tell a story, or something else

If none of those work for you, we could use help planning, organizing, and greeting the night of the party.

Please email me president@cradlerockpta.com if you’d like to participate in some way.

We have two opportunities for you to join in the fun in February:

Continental Breakfast on 2/7 - We’d like to provide the teachers with a continental breakfast on 2/7 to show our appreciation. We have parents willing to pick up and serve, but they’d appreciate a few donations to help offset the costs. If you’re interested, please send $2-3 in an envelope addressed to Brigitta Warren. Should you have any questions e-mail her at marybwarren@verizon.net .

Luncheon 2/15 – This time, we’re celebrating with a Mardi -Gras theme! Get in on the fun by offering to share a casserole, dessert, drinks or maybe some red beans and rice!  Brigitta is organizing this effort as well, please email her at marybwarren@verizon.net with what you’d like to bring!
