2008-2009 PTSA Committees
Blankets Blanket Form	"Catonsville" Blankets are sold throughout the year.  Before the winter holiday, order forms are distributed in the community through area schools and businesses.  Orders are filled as they are received as the school maintains stock in all the colors available.  Sales pick up again in the spring as the blankets make great Graduation gifts and Mother's Day gifts.  Help is needed with making copies of the order forms - as well as selling them at our school's concerts and play.

8th Grade  Dance	Parents organize the end of the year dance for 8th graders.  The dance is usually held the first Friday in June, and this committee starts planning in February/March.  A Caribbean Night theme is carried over from year to year, which makes planning much easier for something held at such a busy time of year.  Many volunteers are needed the night of the dance to make it a success.

Volunteer Coordinator	At the beginning of the school year – this volunteer sends home a check-off list of the various committees, asking for volunteers to serve on them.  They are distributed by the newsletter,  at the Ice Cream Social and on Back to School Night.  After they are collected, a list is made for each committee chair of interested volunteers.  It is a great asset to have when starting to organize an activity.
