Farewell from the PTA President

April 30, 2019

Hello! ~ 你好!(Nĭ Hăo!) ~ ¡Hola!

Dearest Paint Branch Community:

Although you’ve already heard – it’s with great sadness, gratitude, and hopefulness, that I write to inform you that I have resigned my position as your Paint Branch PTA President, effective May 1, 2019.  These past two school years have been fun, productive, educational and memorable!  It’s been an honor and a pleasure to serve the students, staff and members of our beloved community – and I sincerely hope to see the Paint Branch PTA continue to build upon the excellent foundation that we’ve worked so hard to establish and maintain. 

 When we began this journey in January 2018, I was reminded of a quote that has often been attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, which simply states, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”  To me, this means that individually, each of us uniquely possesses the ability to make our schools and communities into what our children so desperately deserve. 

I believe that individually, we’re strong…but together, we’re a force!  In other words, there’s nothing that we can’t accomplish when we come together and effectively communicate!  With the support of our awesome parents, excellent staff and administration, and wonderful community partners – I expect to see nothing but great things from our Paint Branch PTA!  

I will continue to advocate for our children – to ensure equity in access to education; accountability in school and PGCPS leadership; and that each student receives a high-quality education.  Among other things, this includes obtaining a sensory room for our Autism students at Paint Branch – which is long overdue! 

If there is anything that I can do to assist anyone in anyway, please look me up!  I won’t be far away!

Sincerely Yours In Service,

~am
