Dear Happy Valley Parents,

I loved hearing the pitter-patter of rain falling on my roof this weekend - who would have thought after last year’s deluge I’d be so excited for rain?!   One song we definitely are not singing this year in our house is “Rain, rain, go away”! 

Although the arrival of the rain may have been late, Parents Club is trying to stay on time planning for the upcoming school year.  In an earlier communication I asked for volunteers to help fill the open committee chair positions for 2012-13.  We are very fortunate to have a lot of continuing chairs, leaving us with only a hand-full of open committee chair positions.  Please consider helping fill these positions by serving on the Nominating Committee.  The time commitment is minimal, meeting just a few times in February and March.  We currently need two parents from grades 2, 3 and 4; one parent from K; and two parents from grades K-4 to serve as alternates.  If you are interested in serving on the committee or would like to know more about what this role entails, please contact Kat O’Donnell at katodon06@yahoo.com. 

I hope everyone enjoyed the Happy Valley Movie Night on Friday.  Thank you to Carrie Daughters and Tina Frechman for organizing.  And a BIG thank you to our Dad’s Club members Tony LaFrance, Hector Chao, Tim Jones, Jose Gonzales, Steve Smith, Dan Leones, Alex Flagg, David Mosley, Kevin Bates and Wil Koenig who all graciously worked the evening event!  Next movie night is March 2nd – mark your calendars.

Lastly, my sincere apologies for not mentioning the postponement of our January 19^th Parents Club meeting in last week’s message.  This was an oversight on my behalf and I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion I may have caused.  We will be rescheduling the meeting for the near future – and I promise to not forget to announce!

Go Niners!

Best,

Shannon Tague
