Class Descriptions
Session 1
Treasurer 1 – The process of budget presentation, financial reports, bank reconciliation,
fundraisers, tax- free events, reimbursements, deposits and more will be covered. Be informed
about the importance of PTA Money Matters. This class is not just intended for Treasurers, but
for anyone who has check signing authority or responsibility for either earning or spending over
$1,000 of the PTA budget. Recommended for new treasurers, presidents and new officers. Rich

Historian- Who compiles and keeps a record of activities and achievements throughout the
year? You do now, but you don’t have to be an experienced scrapbooker or photographer to
create memories for your school. Ideas you can use throughout the year. Anita Sybesma
Secretary - Secretaries are not just pretty hand writers anymore! This workshop goes over the
basic procedures for secretaries, such as Plan of Work, what goes in the minutes, rudimentary
parliamentary procedure, how to prepare for meetings, and what the job entails with a few
surprises thrown in. Debbie Gurley [email protected]
CCISD Teacher Center – Do you know where they are? – Do you even know what the
Teacher Center is? Have you ever had to do manipulatives for a teacher? Posters for a Booster
Club? Buttons for Teacher Appreciation? All this is possible at the Teacher Center. Come learn
all about what they can do for you and complete a craft! What a deal! Jill Cook [email protected]
Membership – Did you know that membership normally handles Life Members? What are Life
Members? See the forms that you will need to get your membership registered at state, ways to
bring in more members and all the facts you need to know. Cheri Weismuller
[email protected] and Sheryl Williams [email protected]
Stop Bullying Now! – Take a stand. Lend a hand. Stop Bullying now! One of the best ways
you can help stop or prevent bullying is to be educated about, and sensitive to the issue.
Bullying is NOT a rite of passage – an undesirable, but sometimes unavoidable, reality of
growing up - but rather, bullying is a serious public health issue that affects countless young
people every day, and is compounded by the technology readily available to our children.
Further, research shows that the effects of bullying can last well into adulthood. You can help
stop bullying, and your first step is to attend this workshop. Lisa Holbrook
Reflections- Learn the steps you need to take to run your "Reflections" program next year. We
will talk about the theme, deadlines, judging, advertising, entry forms, and all the other important
steps that are part of the Reflections process. Don't panic! We will talk about everything you
need to know to make the program run smoothly at your school. Laura DuPont
The Parliamentarian’s Job –Learn the duties and responsibilities of a parliamentarian, making
a Plan of Work, required equipment, and how to use the tools of the trade. Vicky Fransham,
School Store – Are you now in charge of the school store and don’t have any idea what is
expected of you? This is a great time to network with other school store chairs. Let’s talk about
vendors others have used to buy school store supplies. Angela Schroder
Secondary Volunteers- How to get & keep them – None of your friends are home anymore
when you call for help with the next PTA project. Wonder why? It’s time to get some new
helpers! Come learn from a secondary volunteer coordinator the do’s and don’ts of recruiting
great and loyal volunteers. Melodye Davis [email protected]
First Time/Anytime Presidents- Calling all presidents. Come to the presidents’ roundtable.
Bring your questions and concerns. Get next year off to a great start! Diane Fatora [email protected]
Session 2
Treasurer 2 (continuation of Treasurer 1) – covers preparation and filing of Federal Form
990-EZ and Schedule A, including a check list of what is needed to prepare the forms. The
subject of sales taxes will also be reviewed. Rich Leeney [email protected]
Organizing a School Fair from A-Z - Tips, tricks and timelines. How to make it as much fun
for the School Fair Chair and all the volunteers as it is for the kids! Cheri Weismuller [email protected]
Parliamentary Procedures – What Everyone Should Know - We’ll review how to nominate
and how to make a motion, and then amend it. Something confusing in meetings? Use these
motions: Parliamentary inquiry, Point of Information, and Division of the Assembly. Find out
when to Lay on the Table, Refer to Committee, Withdraw a Motion, and Call for a Ballot Vote.
Something out of whack? Try out Point of Order, Previous Question, Extend or Limit Debate,
and Recess. If there is time left, we’ll work on Amend Something Previously Adopted and
Suspending the Standing Rules and any other motions you select. Let’s find out what can be
done! Vicky Fransham, [email protected],
Newsletter & Communications – Would you like to learn how to keep your membership
informed about what PTA (local, council, area and state) is doing? Come to this workshop and
discover how to create and publish an e-newsletter as well as subscribe users. In the process,
your membership numbers will increase! Tamara Zaman [email protected]
Profession: Parent – The job of parent is a huge responsibility. Whether you are just starting
out with a toddler or are negotiating the teen years, this workshop will review the tools of the
trade that parents need to help their children reach their full adult potential. Setting clear
expectations and limits, positive reinforcement, and natural or logical consequences are some of
the tools we can use to shape children’s behavior and teach self-discipline. This is on the job
training. Lisa Holbrook [email protected]

network with other Program Chairs and join our roundtable discussion on Parent Programs.

our mental and physical well-being. Learn and share with others about developing programs and
projects that will enhance the beauty of the school and community, and encourage environmental
education for students and the general public. Darlene Selmarten [email protected]
Bylaws and Standing Rules – Texas PTA has changed the way we submit bylaws and standing
rules changes. Learn how to submit them quickly and correctly. Svetlana Hanson
