Getting ready for the new school year!Come back soon for updates and information. Enjoy the rest of your summer! General Membership of the Dobbs Ferry PTSAThe PTSA Nominating Committee is currently
working to put together a proposed slate of nominees for next year's
PTSA Executive Committee. We have some wonderful candidates for several
key jobs, and we continue to seek interested
candidates for the positions of President and Treasurer. Please note that, as is the current situation, the
position of President can be shared by two people functioning as
Co-Presidents, who between them have one vote in any decisions that are
taken. Please also note that PTSA membership is required to ensure
eligibility for appointment to the Executive Committee.
Although you can click here for the "official" nominating
form to this email, the members of the Nominating Committee would like
to encourage you to contact us informally with any suggestions or
questions related to this process. Are you interested in getting more
involved but you don't know what these jobs entail? Do you have someone
in mind that you think we should consider but feel reluctant to
officially nominate him/her without getting a little more information?
We want to hear from you! Think of it as a little bit of casual
fact-finding without any commitment. There are five of us on the
Committee, but we can't possibly know every parent in the community, so
please, call or e-mail one of us. Everything we discuss, including who we
talked to, will be kept in the strictest confidence.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Please contact any one of us: Susie Powers 674-6661 susiepowers@mac.com

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. Thank you. Rita Kennedy & Meg Lauer DF PTSA Co-Presidents AN EXECUTIVE OPPORTUNITYEnsuring the future of the PTSA is the only way to honor our past achievements, and confirm our commitments to the children of Dobbs Ferry.
