Nominating Committee & Officers Needed for 2008-2009 School Year It is now time to seriously begin thinking about next year. We need to form a nominating committee of 3 to begin our search for next year’s officers. I hope several of you come forward to participate on this committee – we need your help to move forward. If you are interested in holding an office, you can still be on the nominating committee. If you do not want to hold an office, you can still be on the nominating committee. Those who want our PTA to thrive need to help us prepare for the upcoming year. I will be contacting our feeder elementary schools to see if they have names of parents who might be interested in holding an office in our 2008 PTA and will pass this on to the committee. We will also be speaking with parents at the Orientation this coming Wed. and may identify parents who what to get involved in the PTA. If any of you know of rising 7th grade parents who you would suggest to chair a committee or hold an office, please let me know so they can be contacted or you can talk to them and have them complete the attached flyer. We will also have this flyer at the orientation and it went out with the Rising 7th grade Hughes News. Thanks so much for your assistance, Joan Burkhart Officer and Commitee Chair Sign-up Flyer Three LHMS students were part of a combined Hughes and Kilmer Odyssey of the Mind team that won their division at the recent TJ Invitational on January 19. The Thomas Jefferson (TJ) Spontaneous Invitational is a competition run by the TJ Odyssey of the Mind Club, in which Division I and II teams formally compete in spontaneous problems that simulate actual competition. Each team participates in four problems (one verbal, one hands-on verbal, and two hands-on). The district OOTM competition will take place in March.
