President's Message
Dear Verne Critz Families,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year at Verne W. Critz! Starting a new school year is always an exciting time, but this year presents us with new hurdles for everyone. The PTA is dedicated to providing all the children and families with wonderful memories, especially in these difficult times.
Verne W. Critz is a wonderful community – from the compassionate and talented faculty; the busy, but organized front office; the dedicated janitorial crew; the patient lunchroom staff and most importantly, the involved and caring parents. The staff at VWC is responsible for making sure our children’s days are enriched and fulfilled, but it is the PTA’s responsibility to enhance student’s days by adding programs and events outside of the school curriculum. It is with the help of our PTA members that our children have been exposed to authors, illustrators, motivational speakers and many other fine arts programs.
The Verne W. Critz community is not something that exists only during the hours of 9:20am and 3:20pm. We are all neighbors. The PTA tries to create a sense of community, not just for our children, but for parents as well. We try to have events that bring families together as a whole, although we are very limited with what we are currently allowed to do. We are working hard to plan appropriate activities and experiences for all to enjoy.
A school’s PTA is only as good as its members. We have some successful events here at VWC which have become tradition, but we are always looking for new ideas and welcome them. That is where you come in. Elementary school is a unique opportunity to allow parents to be involved in our children’s lives beyond our homes. Too soon they will want to spread out and figure things out on their own. Now is the time they want us to be a part of their lives. Let’s, together, make the most of that time. Please – join the PTA and help make this a great year. Our meetings will be held virtually for the foreseeable future. Please check the calendar for the exact dates. I look forward to seeing many of you and working with you towards a very rewarding year.
