Welcome Everyone,

“I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in
most schools today and wonder that we could have tolerated anything so primitive”.
John W. Gardner (1912 - 2002)
US administrator; Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare 1965-1968

I’d say he was right. Think back to your school days, how much have things changed?

How much further could we each have gone if we were given the tools our kids are learning with
today? And what tools will our grandchildren experience?

Education is certainly a cornerstone to any sustainable society.  Each generation must build upon
the last. Not only must the latter provide a foundation for the next, but also we must do so with an
eye to the future.

Parental involvement and presence in any school makes all the difference. Whether you volunteer in
our Media Center or sponsor an After School Club, chaperone a field trip or simply come to the
PTSA meetings, parents need to stay involved. I hope that you will find some time to share the
learning.

I am honored to take over as your PTSA President for the coming year. Your Executive board is
made up of very talented and dedicated individuals. Keep your eyes, and ears, open for our
calendar of events including the new McTeachers night.

We invite you to join us and share your ideas, experience and time. We cannot succeed alone!

Sincerely,
Bob Murphy
Kingsview Middle School PTSA President 09/10
