Education

H.W. Byers PTA is fired up

H.W. Byers PTA held its first meeting of the new school year last Thursday night and we are fired up. In attendance at the meeting were the elementary assistant principal, Mr. Cross and the high school principal, Mr. Hannah. Also a large number of our elementary and high school teachers were present. The only thing missing were the parents of the student(s) who attend H.W. Byers.

Parents, we would like to encourage you to be more involved in your child’s education. Attending PTA meetings is just one way to show your child and their teachers you do care about the level of education your child is getting and that you are willing to do what it takes to make sure that happens. The principals and faculty have already committed themselves and their personal time to support our PTA, now what about you?

We invite you to attend PTA meetings which are held on the third Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. Our October meeting will be hosted by the athletic department and the November meeting will be hosted by the language arts department. This is a great opportunity for parents to hear and see the great things happening at H.W. Byers.

The PTA will be sponsoring our annual Fall Carnival on October 26 and we need your help. If you are interested in volunteering your great ideas and time, please contact Vivian Gulledge at 901-870-1210 or Tonya Gulledge at 901-488-4186. We look forward to working with you this school year.
