Council Delegates

Happy autumn, everyone!

Kristin Eoff and Sounjalynne Mata are delegates to the PTA Council. The PTA Council is made up of representatives from all the school and early childhood PTA's in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District. We are very fortunate in that our PTA Council has been named "Outstanding Council PTA" for two years in a row at the state convention in Austin! Your hard-working council is already making many plans for another successful year helping parents, teachers and students in CFBISD. You may not have children in public school yet, but you are lucky to live in a great school district!

Here are some dates to note:
Oct. 8-21 Early voting for CFBISD bond referendum
Oct. 10 First general meeting of the fall, CFB Association for the Gifted and Talented, 7-9 p.m. at the Technology Learning Center (TLC), 2427 Carrick in Farmers Branch (open to parents/advocates of gifted children)
Oct. 13 School holiday (Fair Day)
Oct. 15 Deadline for fall membership dues and lists from all PTA's
Oct. 20 Clothes Closet work day for the CECPTA, 8:30-11 a.m.!!! We need at least FOUR volunteers to show up from our PTA (without small children). Please volunteer if you can!!!
Oct. 25 CFBISD bond election -- VOTE!!!
Oct. 27-31 Red Ribbon Week (anti-drug campaign)
Nov. 12 Free parent-education session on "Bullies" from noon to 1 p.m. at the TLC (no child care). Information: Gretchen Biery, (972) 323-6046

The $300 million bond election is very important to the district. It will help finance facility improvements at every school in CFBISD. Unlike CFBISD property taxes (of which the state takes 30 percent under its "Robin Hood" plan), every cent raised from this bond will stay in CFBISD. For more information, visit www.cfbisd.edu. VOTE!!!

One last thing: The PTA Council is seeking gently used clothing and books for its Clothes Closet and its February book sale. Please bring any donations to CECPTA meetings for Kristin and Sounjalynne to pick up. Thank you!!!
