Letter from our New PTA Presidents:
Dear Solana Beach PTA Members,
We want to welcome you to the 2011-2012 school year. We are excited to begin our role as new PTA presidents for Solana Vista and Skyline Elementary Schools. We look forward to working with you, parents and teachers, to provide programs and services that truly meet the —social, emotional, and intellectual—needs of our students.
We plan to continue many of the traditions and programs that PTA has supported in recent years and we are also looking for opportunities to innovate. We’ll strive to provide programs that are meaningful to our students and that support and engage our community of parents and teachers. Ultimately, we aspire to create a learning community of parents, students, teachers and staff, all working together towards a common goal of an outstanding education for our children.
There will be many opportunities for involvement throughout the school year. For instance, we will hold an evening speaker series on relevant topics in education and child development, in conjunction with our PTA association meetings. We hope that you will join us! And of course, there will be many other events and volunteer activities. Please look for calendar updates and notices in the weekly online communication from our schools.
Like you, we feel that Solana Beach is a special place. We feel very lucky to be a part of this community, where we have beautiful surroundings, amazing people and first rate schools. We encourage you to be active in the Solana Beach PTA in whatever way you can. If you aren’t a member for the 2011-2012 school year yet, please join today!
With enthusiasm,

Earn money for our schools while you shop online
Just click on the eScrip Online Mall button above, make a purchase, and
the Solana Beach PTA will receive a percentage of the sale. There are over 1,000 online merchants to choose from and
you can earn up to 16% on your purchases. Merchants include: Amazon, Barnes&Noble.com, Apple iTunes, Nordstrom and many more!
A family who shops online through the eScrip Online Mall will earn an average of $70 per year for their group, so if there are
