The PTA is very excited about the new programs here at South Shore Elementary this year.  This is sure to be a fantastic year.     We have a new website!  Please visit us at southshore.ptomanager.com and register.  This is a secure password protected website that will only be viewable by South Shore parents.  This new site allows us to share important information directly with our parents, post updates, information and announce events.  Our goal is to have ALL our families registered!  You all have talents and abilities that would make South Shore an even better place for our children to be educated.     The PTA Board has planned the budget for this year with the same fundraisers we have used in the past: Joe Corbi food sales and our Annual Chili Cook-Off & Auction.  You will not constantly find order forms coming home with your student, however we need you to support these efforts with great enthusiasm. Please get your PTA Membership Form and dues in by the end of September. PTA membership allows you to get contact information for other PTA parents through our directory and it provides discounts and benefits to members. This directory is an invaluable resource for making play dates with classmates and connecting with other South Shore parents and families.   The PTA Executive Board invites you to our monthly meetings, all are welcome! Meetings will be held during the third week of each month at the school, with the day of the week to be determined.   Please feel free to contact me for any reason.
