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 2011-2012   Executive Board President                                                                                 Susan Gumula First Vice President (Recognitions)                                        Michele Lechowicz Second Vice President (Ways and Means)                             Mary Beth Dearing Treasurer                                                                                 Noelle Morgan Secretary                                                                                 Gail Eitel   Committee Chairs     Adult Social                                                    Donna Morris Anniversary - 75/160                                      VACANT Birthday Books                                               Candy Watkins/Genea Henson Book Fair                                                        SuzanneKolbe/BeckyPeterson/                                                                                 Sharron Iaquinta Community Outreach                                      Julie Shay Corporate Bonus - Boxtops                            Jenn Allgair Corporate Bonus - Other                                Tanya Kozel Educational Enrichment                                  Valarie Yearwood/Amy Higginbotham Fine Arts                                                         Shannon Powell Grants                                                              Linda Jackson/Jen Richardson Grounds                                                           Amy Faust Historian                                                         Jane Seiss Hospitality                                                      Britta Ward Ice Cream Social                                             Genea Henson Membership Directory                                    Chris Dearing Mids for Kids Liaison                                     Heidi Giard Movie Night                                                    Michele Lechowicz/Tay Harris Playground                                                      Erin Keefer Publicity                                                          Janna Kintzley School Improvement                                       Britta Ward School Store                                                    Dani Davidoff Spring Fair                                                      Lori Glebocki Student Initiatives                                           Anna Wood Sunshine                                                          Margaret Sullivan Variety Show                                                  Molly Hasson/Deanna Ortiz Volunteer Coordinator                                    Eileen Harrington Welcome                                                         Erin Keefer Wellness                                                          Alyson Figlioli Winter Wonderland                                        VACANT Yearbook                                                        Tay Harris
