PTSA Membership & Calendar
AN EXECUTIVE OPPORTUNITY
Ensuring the future of the PTSA is the only way to honor our past achievements, and confirm our commitments to the children of Dobbs Ferry. While it's just January we are already looking to the next school year. This year, our Nominating Committee will be faced with the task of filling several Executive Committee positions for the 2012-2013 school year.Serving on the Nominating Committee is a great way to play a role in defining the future of the organization. It is a short term commitment, typically of 3 months. You will have the opportunity to meet a lot of new people, and establish the slate of executive officers who will lead the PTSA for the next two years.
The five person Nominating Committee is comprised of 2 members of the Executive Board,
and 3 representatives from the General Membership.The Nominating Committee is to be established by the General Membership. To submit your name for participation, or for more information, please contact Lisa Ferrara at president.dfptsa@gmail.com.

Enrichment
Dear Community Members,
One of the (many) programs the PTSA provides to each of our district schools centers around academic enrichment. In the past we’ve called this ‘Cultural Arts’ but have included social studies and science enrichment activities as well. At the elementary level, it’s not too difficult to find programs that fit into the curriculum. The difficulty comes up in the middle and high school years when state requirements are high and time available for field trips is reduced.
We’d like to reach out to our community members to see if anyone has a skill, an interest, or an experience that they might be willing to share with some of our students. Someone who has traveled to unique destinations may be able to speak to a Global History class. A laboratory scientist might be able to address a high school chemistry class. A middle school math class might enjoy listening to a CPA. A professional musician would always be welcome to speak to our band students.
Our students pride themselves on their community service. It’s nice to show them by our own actions. Will you let us know any areas in which you might be interested in sharing your talents with our students?
Send us an email at volunteer.dfptsa@gmail.com and tell us what you can do for our students. We’ll get back to you on coordinating things.
