Communication
To all those parents, friends
and students who worked so hard
and generously to get the
Elementary and Middle school
buildings spruced up for the
recent visit of the Accreditation
Committee: A HEARTY
THANKS from the PTA Board
and the school administration.
The visitors were most favorably
impressed with the neat and
clean physical appearance of the
school and even more so with the
cooperation, pride and
community involvement that
obviously had taken place. So if
you scrubbed floors, sewed
curtains, prepared refreshments,
cooked a meal, served a meal,
telephoned, ran errands or any of
the hundred other tasks that were
accomplished, you helped bring
this important accreditation
process to a successful
conclusion, the utlimate
benefactors of which will be all
our children.
Sincerely,
Jo L. Key, Secretary
Tryon, PTA
