SECRET PALS PROGRAM

Dear Parents,

The PTSA sponsors a program called "Secret Pals". It is very simple and hopefully you will want to get involved with it if you aren't already.

Secret Pals is a program where parents sign up to "do nice things" for a specific teacher each month of the year. What this means is (you) send in a small special something to a staff member/teacher (that you pick) throughout the school year. We have approximately 80 staff members at NOMS and we don't want any of them left without a secret pal.

For me, I just pick up an extra drink, snack, supply or item I know they will appreciate while I'm already at the grocery store or while out shopping. Each month I send in an item letting them know I am thinking of them. The gifts you send in monthly only need to be a small token of appreciation. Please don't feel you would have to spend a lot of money - this is not the purpose of the program - just something small! What do I mean by small special something ...

ideas include but are not limited to ...
their favorite drink
post it notes
a favorite snack
a candy bar
a pad of paper
something you see in the check out line
team spirit item
gift cards
school supplies
a birthday card
"We appreciate you" card
appreciation note/letter

Please contact Lyne Church at 228-5195 or at lynechurch@bellsouth.net to let her know if you are interested in supporting this wonderful program.

Thanks,
Betsy Lowe
PTSA President
