PTA Updates – End of Year Edition

Hello Harmony Families! I hope this message finds you and your family well. There are just a few PTA updates I wanted to pass along today as we wrap up this school year. Together we have done many amazing things including purchase more books for our guided reading library, plan for a sensory path to be installed once we get the all clear to be back at school, purchase books to support classroom libraries and so much more. It’s truly amazing the things we can do when we work together!

Supply Kits for next year are on sale now until July 1!
1st Day School Supplies makes shopping for school supplies an easy task right from home. As your PTA, we bring you this as an optional service, not a fundraiser.  So that means the pricing is very similar to what you would find at local stores. Ordered kits will be waiting for your child in their new classroom on open house night.

  • To order a kit, go to   http://1stdayschoolsupplies. com/kits.php?sid=42569  and purchase the kit for the grade your child will be in next year.
  • To buy your own supplies, you can find the supply lists here on our website here.

Welcome to the 2020-2021 Executive Board! Our nomination committee worked hard during the winter months reaching out to Harmony parents to fill next year’s executive board. We have one volunteer step up for each open required position. And by unanimous vote at a recent executive board meeting, the 2020-2021 executive board was approved. The transition of all roles takes affect July 1. The role of PTA President will be held by Kristin Rutledge, Treasurer will be held by Amy Keller and Secretary will be held by Brittany McKenna. There are 4 more positions that complete the executive board. And we have 3 of those filled at this time, Financial Secretary is Marianne Bezuidenhout, VP Membership is Ashley Smith and VP Husky Hustle will be Co-Chaired by Amanda Besore and Julie Bucalos. VP Programs is currently still open. In addition to our executive board there are many chairperson roles that make up our PTA. Click here to take a look at the open chairperson positions for next year There’s really something for everyone! Our volunteers are simply the best! Really!!

Thank you to everyone for your help during our virtual appreciation week! Rainbows Over Harmony was a success and we hope the messages will continue for many more days to come. Be the rainbow in someone else’s cloud each day!

Upcoming PTA Meeting 
We are planning to hold our final PTA meeting virtually at 9pm on Tuesday, May 12th on our Facebook page   This will be mostly an informative meeting, but I will be watching the comments for any questions, and do my best to answer them. If I don’t get to your question on the live meeting, I’ll review them all afterwards and get back with you. You may also submit questions to me before the meeting via email and I can address them on the live feed. The agenda and budget will be posted to our website soon for you to review and follow along. Hope you can join in!

Our final Papa John’s Dine to Donate night is Thursday, May 21st. Order at www.papajohns.com or call 228-1000, and use promo code HARMONY20 and 20% of your purchase price will go back to support Harmony.

Feel free to contact me with any questions concerning any of the points above. Also, be sure you are following us on Facebook @kyharmonypta to stay up to date on all things PTA.

In closing, it is bittersweet for me to share with you this final update as your PTA President. It has been a true privilege and honor to serve alongside so many incredible people. By working with each of you, I have learned so much and have developed a great appreciation for all we’ve accomplished through our volunteer work. Thank you to everyone for your support this year! It’s been an honor being a part of such a wonderful community.

Have a wonderful and safe summer!

PTA Updates – Spring Edition

Hello Harmony Families! I hope this message finds you and your family well. We are all going through a lot of change right now, and it’s wonderful to know that we have such a supportive staff and community. We are all in this together, and we will get through this. There still things happening with your PTA and there are some updates I would like to pass along to each of you.

Spring Spirit Wear Orders
Spring spirit wear orders are complete. To reduce the number of hands on your orders, and to keep everyone healthy at home, to anyone who ordered spring spirit wear there are a couple of options you can do.

  1. Call Shively Sporting Goods arrange for your order to be shipped to your home. There will be a shipping charge involved in this option and that cost depends on your order.Contact Rob Davis at Shively Sporting Goods 502-448-7272 ext. 19 or email r.davis@ shivelysportinggoods.com
    Be patient with this option please, as it will take time for them to pull your order and prepare for shipping with their limited staff.
  2. Wait until the PTA can pick up the remaining orders in bulk and distribution will be arranged. The timeline for this option is unknown.

It’s time for our annual SBDM nominations and election. Due to COVID-19, the state policy was updated to allow for electronic voting. Please review the attached letter and nomination form. This year, there are two options for submitting your nomination form. You may print off the form, complete it, scan it and email it to me at pta.president.hes@gmail.com or you can complete this online Google form   https://forms.gle/ 1Q2iAPBZ75ypZS1y6    Forms are due by 8:30 p.m. (EST) on Wednesday, April 22, 2020.

With registration upon us, it is also time to prepare for next year with school supplies. We are teaming up again with 1st Day School Supplies to make shopping for school supplies an easy task right from home. Your PTA brings you this as an optional service, not a fundraiser.  So that means the pricing is very similar to what you would find at local stores.
