Severna Park Elementary School PTA   Our Mission Statement    The mission of the SPES PTA is to enrich the educational experience for as many students as possible during the school year.  This will be accomplished through a partnership with students, faculty and staff to promote accelerated achievement in a welcoming school environment.  This organization will work closely with SPES faculty and administration to provide support and resources.  Together, we will help students accelerate their achievement while minimizing the achievement disparities among groups.    Join the PTA   It’s easy!  We collect an annual $10 per family membership fee.  With your paid membership, you receive a School Directory and are invited to attend any of our monthly PTA meetings.  Paid members are also able to vote on any business that is conducted by the Board.  The SPES PTA does not run any fundraisers through the school year.  All of our programs are supported by our Direct Donation Program.  We feel strongly that this program simplifies our parents’ (and grandparents’) lives and ensures that 100% of your money goes to our school.  More information about PTA membership and the Direct Donation program can be found under the PTA Membership & Direct Donation Information link.   For general questions, please contact us as spespta08@gmail.com.  Specific questions may be directed to the appropriate officer or committee chair as listed below     SPES PTA Officers and Committee Chairs President Jeanne Walker First Vice President Alyson Figlioli Second Vice President Mary Beth Dearing Treasurer Michele Lechowicz Secretary Kim Kiriazoglou Financial Secretary Genea Henson Community Outreach Julie Shay Hospitality Amy Hemmerle Fine Arts Francine Diggs & Lisa Flynn On-Going Projects Nancy Jackson Publicity Janna Kintzley Sunshine Committee Jeanne Walker Ice Cream Social Ellie Richmond School Store Dani Davidoff Spring Fair Judie Isham Student Initiatives Anna Wood Holiday Party   Heidi Giard Mids For Kids Tay Harris Volunteer Coordinator Karen Cornfeld Member Directory Chris Dearing Yearbook Sallie Luck Book Fair Sharron Iaquinta & Suzanne Kolbe Corporate Bonus Programs Tanya Kozel & Jennifer Allgair E.E.P.
