PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION
The University Parent Teacher Association which exists to promote education and welfare of our children is VERY ACTIVE. They have been recognized by the District, State, and National affiliates for their many achievements. Two of our past presidents-Dolores Gulledge Hackler and Carol Fullilove-both have also served as the District President and the State President. Parents are encouraged to join and participate in the activities of our PTA. Parents are a vital part of the success of our school. The PTA welcomes YOU and any ideas you might have! The University PTA continues to provide the school with items such as: computers, computer software, Alpha Smarts, digital camera, file cabinets, instructional materials, covered walkways, copy machine, laminating machine and supplies, book binding machine and supplies, letter cutting machines and dies, extra materials for P.E. and Music, etc. They have contributed so much to help with the educational and personal welfare of the students.
Some of the many activities of our PTA are: * resurfaced the track * provide teacher grants to purchase much needed items for the classroom. For 2002-2003 almost $20,000 will be spent. * a student directory listing all faculty members and students * a quarterly newsletter * selling school sweatshirts, jackets, and t-shirts * promote dining at certain restaurants on certain nights when that restaurant will give a percentage of their revenues to the school. Current participant is Johnny’s Pizza & Monjuni’s * participate in Labels for Education where proofs of purchase from certain products are collected and PTA receives funds * sponsor My Louisiana essay contest * sponsor Directory Cover contest * sponsor Fall Fundraiser and Fall Carnival each year * sponsor Penny Power Week * sponsor Spaghetti Supper/Talent Show * sponsor Teacher Appreciation Week * sponsor the Yearbook * sponsor food booths at the annual Field Day * sponsor Kindergarten graduation and Fifth Grade Recognition |

|
Welcome back Wildcats! We hope you had a wonderful summer. My name is Theresa Caldwell and I am Co-President with Sheila Tolliver for the University PTA. We have an incredible PTA Board in place and have many great things in store for the 2008-2009 school year. Please join us in welcoming our new Principal, Mrs. Paula Nelson! She comes to us from Jack P. Timmons Elementary School where she had been the principal since 2003. She has been educating children in the North Louisiana area for the last 31 years. During her career, Mrs. Nelson has received many grants and awards, including Teacher of the Year for Mooringsport! She is active in her church and in the community. We are thrilled to have her at UES, and we look forward to working with her and (of course) the awesome teachers and staff at UES this year! Go Wildcats!
