Student PTA 2016-2017

What is the Student PTA about?
Most importantly it’s about giving back and having fun! We are about improving our school, and the community around us!

A Treasure Map with directions is included in your Student PTA welcome bag. Each good deed, and every event attended earns you doubloons! The more doubloons you collect, the closer you get to the treasure!!!
Parents : All activities are voluntary. You will be receiving emails throughout the year for opportunities for your child to earn doubloons towards the race. Some of the activities can be completed at home, while others will be completed at various locations. Our goal is to make this fun and rewarding for the students, and give them opportunities to show that they are a responsible PTA member.

A letter to the parents
We would like to thank you for allowing your child to participate in our student PTA. Our hope is that this will be a very rewarding experience for both you and your child.
How can we help our school? By being involved in the Student PTA, YOU are showing that you love McCall and want our school to be the best school for all of the kids. Thank YOU for stepping up and showing others how they can be a part of making our school the BEST in Plano. I expect all of you to be positive, kind, and courteous to all the kids, parents, and teachers who work hard every day to help you make McCall great. Let's make this a great year at McCall. ~ Stacy Kimbriel, McCall Principal
During the school year we will be communicating mostly via emails. We are working to create a distribution list for all student members. If you are interested in being on the committee that will assist these young leaders, please reach out to Kelly Hopper at membership@mccallpta.org
In our initial meeting and via email we will discuss other ways to show support, and earn doubloons for the rewards map. Once all dates for events have been hammered out we will let you know. The goal as of now is to have our initial meeting the 3rd week of school. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Here’s to a GREAT 2016/17 school year!!
