Back to School Night was a big success! We tried a new format with attempts to better manage the growing population at Goochland Elementary! Thank you to our super scoopers who did a great job dishing out the ice cream!
The new spirit wear was very popular among students, parents and teachers! Please check the fundraising committee page HERE for ordering information or contact the chairperson directly. Order forms will be sent through the school very soon for special ordering and more information on "Lion Pride in Bulldog Country" merchandise! Holding our PTA meeting via the PA system was well received and the feedback on providing ballots for voting was very positive. The results from voting are in! The audit that was conducted on last year's financials has been adopted and the proposed budget for this year has been approved. Thank you to the 51 individuals and families that cast their ballot last night. Your support of the PTA is greatly appreciated! The officers are looking forward to a great year together!
