Welcome to a new school year from the Bodkin Elementary Parent-Teacher Association. The Bodkin Elementary PTA is a collaborative partnership between our school, our families, and our community which focuses on the children. If this is your first year at Bodkin Elementary, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to each of you. If you are a “seasoned” Bodkin Bulldog family, I know that you are as excited as we are to be starting the school year again.

As I embark on my first term as your PTA President, I am looking forward to continuing the working partnerships we have established with the invaluable school administration, our amazing teachers, and dedicated parents to provide an exceptional learning experience for our children.

The Bodkin PTA is an integral part of the Bodkin Bulldog family. Not only do we host fun events during the school year, such as Santa Saturday, restaurant nights, Trunk or Treat, Environmental Fair, but we also provide funds and volunteers for our teachers and staff. All of this requires the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. Each one of us has different skills, talents, and resources that are desperately needed to make Bodkin what it is. For some, it is volunteering in our classrooms. For others, it is heading up or joining a committee that brings something special to our students. We all want the very best education and experience for our children, and that is why we must all individually do whatever we can to make it happen. Please join me, the PTA board, and the volunteer community as we embark on the quest to ensure Bodkin reaches its greatest potential. The old adage, “It takes a village,” comes to mind when I think about all the wonderful things that happen at Bodkin. And with your help, we can strengthen and build our village to unbelievable heights. I encourage each one of you to become a part of our team. The number one reason to join the PTA is to benefit all the children. In doing so, you help us achieve that goal.

Our PTA meetings are the second Tuesday of every month at 6 pm in the school library. All are welcome to attend and participate! There is no better way to find out what’s happening at school than to sit among administrators, teachers, volunteers, and other parents!

THANK YOU for your continued support of Bodkin and the PTA’s efforts to enhance your child’s educational experience. Together, we create a positive school environment for all of our kids.

Lena Kaba, Bodkin PTA President
