Message from the PTA President

The 2012-2013 school year is well underway and has already proven to be an exciting year, with more to come!

The PTA sponsors a number of great events throughout the school year. We kicked things off with the Family Picnic in August, giving our families time to reconnect with old friends and reach out to make new friends. The Halloween Spooktacular was a huge success, as was “A Very Magical Christmas”. This Spring, we will be hosting a Fun Run, gathering our entire community to promote healthy lifestyles by running for a worthy cause. The PTA’s social group, called Parent Connections, is a great benefit for those new (and old) to Singapore as it invites parents with similar interests to get together and meet new people. Additionally, the PTA hosts “PTA Presents” events in which we highlight not only our Corporate Sponsors but other local organizations as well.

We hope you’ll come out to our general meetings and find out what we’re planning for the remainder of this year and how you can get involved. Times and dates of the meetings will be in the newsletter. You can also keep up-to-date on events and volunteer needs on our PTA website.

All PTA events and activities are fully run and organized by parent volunteers. As such each is only as successful as its volunteers. I ask you to join us and help make Stamford as dynamic and exciting a community as possible. Be sure to visit the volunteer section on our website to sign up as a volunteer and our Volunteer Coordinator will forward the information to the appropriate committee chair.

If you have any thoughts or questions you can contact the PTA at pta@sais.edu.sg.

I look forward to having a great year with all of you!

Kim Duda
PTA President
