Busan Foreign School

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the 2009/2010 school year.  I hope that you will join us in the PTA this year.  The PTA is simply parents and teachers working together to improve our school. We hold meetings every month. All parents and teachers are welcome to attend. Our PTA Board has been selected and we are excited about the 2009/2010 school year. I will serve as President this year. Jennifer Allen will be handling the duties of Vice President. Sunny Lee will serve as our Treasurer and Young Ran Hong will be our Secretary. There are some familiar faces this year as some of us participated in the PTA last year. We also have quite a few new parents and teachers that joined us for our first meeting. I sincerely hope that we will grow even more this year and have the best PTA yet!

Kind regards,
Carol Cruz
PTA President
