Letter to the Editor

Former PTO president apologizes

To the editor:I want to apologize to the students, parents and faculty of Delta Elementary School for not being organized. It was brought up at the last Parent-Teacher Organization meeting that we had an outstanding bill with Promotional Advertising Co. I want to apologize because I did not know that we owed this bill. Had I known, I would have had a fund-raiser.

I want to thank the concerned parents who found this out. I think these ladies are what we need to get the PTO back on track. I would like to nominate Karla Perry and Michelle Steimle to be officers for the PTO. These ladies would be great for this.

I also want to say I'm sorry that I did not do inventory when the apparel came in, so we are missing some items, We are not sure if we did not get them or if when I left the storage door open they were taken.

I know now that I have made mistakes while in office, but to be honest I did not know a lot about PTO. I was doing the best I knew how. I wanted to help the children get what they need. I ask you to please not let the children be the ones to pay for my mistakes.
