I just want to take this opportunity to thank again all of the parents, teachers and friends who gave of the time and resources to make my year as PTA president a success. The kids are very lucky to have all of you. A Special Thanks goes to Samantha Boice, Susie, Villareal, Tom Richardson (my co officers) I could not have had a better group of people to work with. We did a lot and we had fun to. I have made many friendships this year that I truly cherish and I look forward to working with the PTA officers next year to make 2009-2010 an even better year.
Remember you the parents and teachers (and principal and staff) are the backbone of many programs that benefit our kids so please join again next year.
Again, THANK YOU ALL!
Michelle Livermore

I had a great time as an officer on the Birney PTA. Many thanks to everyone who I had the opportunity to volunteer with. I look forward to volunteering again with you and the new and returning parents, teachers, students, and staff.
