As a PTA member, you are not required to attend meetings. However, meetings provide a chance for you to voice concerns, become part of the community of parents, and learn about events, volunteer opportunities, and school announcements. Our principal attends these meetings and we invite important guests to speak to us about what we care about.
If you do miss meetings and want to know what you missed, all the meeting minutes are kept on the About PTA page.

Dear CES Families,
The Clarksville Elementary PTA recently learned about a program in Howard County called Blessings in a Backpack. This program provides food over the weekend and days off to children in our county who might otherwise go hungry. The program is currently looking for over $20,000 in funding and our PTA would like to help and have a little competitive fun while doing it.
Starting October 28th, the PTA is excited to announce a partnership to provide a digital reading challenge to our community called, Read for My School. Fast to setup and easy to use across any mobile device, Read for My School provides parents and students a fun and engaging way to share their love of reading while understanding the importance of giving back.
Through your community support, we would like parents to read with their children and/or have their children read to themselves. Please track their progress on the Read for My School web page. We would also love parents to share our reading challenge as well as their child’s reading achievements with friends and family to generate pledge donation support.
Your support will make our school reading challenge a success AND help neighboring children.
Here’s what you need to do:
If you have multiple children participating, create the account for one. Then click on MANAGE MY PROFILES and add another reader to the existing account.
As a small incentive, we will be offering the grade with the most minutes read a switch day. In addition, the child with the most books read and the child with most minutes spent reading will also get a small reward.
We are extremely excited to share this opportunity and look forward to working with you in support of our greater community. If you do not wish to participate in the program but would still like to contribute to the Blessings in Backpack through our school, we have set up a donation page on our website. We will add this amount to the total donated to the Blessings in a Backpack program.
Sincerely,
Clarksville Elementary School PTA
This program provides food over the weekend and days off to children in our county who might otherwise go hungry. To learn more about our fundraising efforts, please visit cespta.net/blessings-in-a-backpack.
Those who attended tonight’s meeting were grateful for a member of the Board of Education and our cluster representative to address our questions as members of Clarksville Elementary School. We learned a lot about her and her passion for education and she answered many questions that parents had. The PTA thanks her for her time.
We hope to see you at the next meeting, November 11.
And how was your dinner at Tino’s? Thank you to all the families that participated in that delicious fundraiser.
Healthy fun was had by all that attended! Thank you again to our sponsors!!:
