Membership Changes
Well, there is no option to do membership this year with OMDR (online membership data reporting). It is now done with Just Between Friends. If you go to www.pta.org, and then click on Running a PTA, then Just Between Friends, it will answer some questions for you about JBF. You can also go to http://www.justbetweenfriends.com/ and it has the PTA quick start links. Call me or email me if you are having any problems. I would be happy to help and troubleshoot for you! Price for membership is the same this year. If you are not going to enter your information into JBF , there is a form I can email you. Good luck with your membership drive! Together We Can!

Welcome Back!
We are about to start an exciting new year. I love this year's theme of "Together We Can". In a world of economic struggles, moral decay, and self doubt, we can rise above all this Together! Our children can have strong educations, safe homes, caring adults and positive self esteem as we work Together to make this happen. One step at a time, one person at a time, we will make it happen.

Regional Meeting March 4th
Please plan to attend our regional meeting and hear Secretary of State Ben Ysursa speak to us about Endowment Lands. These lands produce money for public education. Also we will be hearing from District 25 about their levy election coming up.
It is very important that our leaders know we are concerned and hear our voice.

District 25 Levy
The district would like to make presentations to all school PTA's about the levy in the month of February. Please contact Shelly Allen at the district office to set up a time. This will be an informational meeting. If your PTA would like to choose to vote about supporting the levy or not, that is up to your local PTA to hold a vote.
Our March 4th regional meeting will also have a levy presentation and we will vote as a region whether to support the levy or not. Please come and let your voices be heard!

Legislative Day
Please make plans to attend the state Legislative Day in Boise. It is on Feb. 11th starting at 7:30am and going to about 4pm. Check out the state website through our link on this blog for more information and to register. With very little revenue for our state government to work with, it is very important that our representatives see public education as an essential building block for our future. We can't pay for lobbyist to be at the capital, but we can have a voice. Our region has some money to pay for entrance fees if people need help with that. Please contact me, Brandi Barnes, at 238-2118.

Parent website to accompany new math program
At our December Region 5 PTA meeting we discussed the new math program. Several parents expressed that this math is different than the math that many of our parents learned growing up and they find it more difficult to help their children with homework. Our panel was very helpful and Mr Hyde from Tendoy was willing to find and share the website that is linked to the new math program so that us as parents can go there and reference any questions we might have. The web site is www.eduplace.com. Hope this is helpful.
