PTC/FOOTE SCHOOL ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING
Wednesday, May 14
             

Featured speaker: Akhil Reed Amar P '16, '14

New Foote School Association Directors and Representatives of the Parent/Teacher Council are elected at this annual meeting. Every parent or guardian of a child enrolled at Foote School is a member of the FSA and PTC and entitled to participate and to vote. The meeting also will include brief reports from the Head of School, and the president and treasurer of the Foote School Association.

Akhil Amar, Southmayd Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale Law School, whose course in Constitutional Law has inspired hundreds of Yale undergraduates, will share his insights and observations regarding the upcoming presidential election. Akhil was recognized in March with the William Clyde Devane Award for Distinuguished Teaching and Scholarship. His most recent book is America's Constitution: A Biography.

Please plan to gather at 7 p.m. in the Sandine Theater. Coffee and dessert will be served prior to the brief business portion of the evening.

A mailing will be sent to all parents providing the slates of nominees for both PTC and FSA. The information will also be on the Board of Directors and the PTC pages of the Foote School website.


GET INVOLVED – Become a PTC Representative

The PTC is looking for NEW members. If you are interested in becoming a Parent Representative, please email Catherine Sbriglio, PTC Secretary, at csbrig@aol.com by Monday, April 21. 

All parents or guardians of current students automatically belong to the PTC. Members who choose to become Parent Representatives are nominated in the spring to begin a two-year term the following fall. As a PTC Parent Representative, you agree to serve on PTC committees, your name is included in the Foote School Directory as an active member, and you will receive e-mail communications regarding regular PTC business.

The PTC Executive Board sincerely appreciates the participation of each and every Parent Representative. It is only through the active support and effort of the membership that we can provide our school and our children with the many activities and opportunities that are funded by the PTC.
