Notes from the PTA

Mr Papesh's last day will be June 30th. Downtown is asking for parent volaunteers to sit on the interview team for our new principal, Wed, April 12, 4:30-possibly 9/10 pm, Educ. Service Ctr, 120 E Walnut. Call Mr Papesh at 693-5708 to volunteer. Many parents expressed the opinion
that since Dr White didn't want our opinion on reassigning Mr Papesh, why would he now want our input on a new principal. A petition was sent downtown signed by all but ONE staff person requesting that Mr Papesh remain in place. I have a petition ready to mail with 90 parent
signatures gathered via email and the Winter Sport Banquet. At this point if you haven't signed but want your opinion heard, you will have to email Dr White and the board at parksc@ips.k12.in.us and whiteeg@ips.k12.in.us

SPRING BREAK begins with dismissal today. Be safe and relax and enjoy!
