• SPTA Wants More Members
The Student Parent Teacher Association (STPA) of Rappahannock County was pleased, but not satisfied, when the group met October 26 to discuss membership. Their initial meeting of October 17 turned out about 26 participants — a good show — but not nearly enough to accomplish all STPA hopes to accomplish during this school year.
Among STPA plans for a better tomorrow at the elementary school: improved playground facilities; increased support for the band program; child-safety programs targeted primarily at school buses; more lunchroom aides; how-to-help-your-child-at-home projects.
SPTA officers and public relations committee members called their group “small but ambitious,” before outlining plans to encourage more students, parents and teachers to join. To boost membership and interest, STPA plans to launch its membership drive November 6 when a letter to parents is scheduled to come home with pupils. The letter will ask for token financial support, but more important, according to Emma Swatman, chairman of the membership committee, it will ask for participation.
Already, individuals and organizations around the county are assuming an active role. The Rappahannock Women’s Club recently ordered new swings for the playground. Other activities, such as a benefit sock hop scheduled for November 16, also will help, members note.
SIT A outlined their objectives, too: “To gather organized voices providing a forum in which students, parents and teachers can share concerns and problems of our children; communicate better between school and home; raise money to benefit our children; serve as an umbrella for school activities. ”
SPTA’s next meeting is Thursday, November 8 at the elementary school at 7:30 p.m.
