PTA
Presidents' Luncheon
April 19, 2007
 Superintendent
of Schools Dr. Doug Otto (pictured) and the Plano ISD
Council of PTAs hosted a luncheon on March 29 for PTA presidents
and their school principals.
The event was held at
Collin County Community
College and featured
guest
speakers Susan Geddes and Michael Abney, Plano ISD's 2006 Teachers
of the Year.
Dr. Otto told the group of approximately 200 guests, "Our
jobs are alot easier because you're there, showing courage, intelligence
and commitment...Our school board is proud and pleased
that Plano ISD made the decision to be 100 percent PTA schools.
Our PTAs are second
to none."
Susan Geddes, Hunt Elementary School literacy specialist, shared
an appreciation for PTAs from the teacher's perspective. "In
my opinion, PTA stands for Partnership, Teamwork and Advocacy,"
she told the group. Michael Abney, Bowman Middle School AVID (Advancement
Via Individual Determination) instructor, shared his touching and
humorous "ABCs of PTA," an A through Z list of reasons
that PTAs make a difference in the lives of children.
Also sharing remarks were Karla Oliver, executive director
for government and community relations; Robyn Tatman, Plano ISD
Council of PTAs president; and Carol Hoey, Plano ISD Education
Foundation and resource development specialist.
