My name is Michelle Arellano and I am your 2009-2010 PTA President. I am so excited to be leading Ogle PTA this year! We have a board this year full of parents and teachers eager to help build relationships between our Ogle parents, staff, and community. We would love for you to be a part of it! I wanted to give you a few examples on how PTA impacts the students at Ogle. We help plan educational programs for the students throughout the year, along with helping provide things such as books for the classrooms, recess equipment, and fun nights out for the Ogle families such as the Ice Cream Social and Family Art Night.  Studies have proven that membership in PTA provides your child and other children around you with a greater chance of achieving in school. As a PTA member, you are more likely to be an informed, involved parent. These are dangerous times for children. More than ever, it is important for parents to learn ways to keep children safe, trouble free and involved in school. PTA is the best place to gain that knowledge. I look forward to getting to meet and work with each one of you this year. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at president@oglepta.org
