President's Message
Welcome families to the start of another great school year! My name is Megan Wright, and I am the president of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at Taylor Elementary. This will be my family’s fourth year at Taylor after moving here from Oregon, and our daughter will be in fourth grade. Before moving here, I was a school counselor for 12 years. Now I get to teach at the University of North Texas and be involved as a parent at Taylor.
This year I look forward to continuing the strong work the PTA has been doing to engage our students, staff, and families. We promote connections within our community to advocate for the well-being of our students through educational programming, connecting parents with each other, and supporting staff. In order to do this well, the PTA relies on you, the parents, to contribute your time, talents, and energy.
Being a member of the PTA allows you to know more about what is happening throughout the year. Being on campus more often means getting to know teachers and staff and interact with students. They love having parents around! Our school values the diversity of our families and welcomes all the cultures and backgrounds you bring: Taylor is better because of you! Volunteering at fundraising or programming events or in a more specific role will benefit you and our students.
Please consider joining me as a member of the PTA https://taylorelementarypta.membershiptoolkit.com/membership.
We are stronger together,
Megan Wright

Fall Book Fair 2023
The PTA is holding the Fall Book Fair in the Taylor library from Monday September 18 through Friday September 22. We will need volunteers to help make this event happen.
This is a great PTA event to get involved in to meet other members and parents. The students really love seeing you in the building. There are three ways to volunteer:
ORGANIZE FLYERS: Pick up the box of flyers at school and take home. Sort and organize the flyers by class and return to school by Sept 6. Flyers are then put into Thursday folders on Sept 7.
PREVIEW DAYS: Monday Sept 18 and Tuesday Sept 19 8:30am-2:30pm. Help students and staff find books; no sales these days.
SALES DAYS: Wednesday Sept 20 - Friday Sept 22: 8:30am-2:30pm. Bring the students from the classes to the Book Fair, run the registers, and help students pick out books (especially the little ones).
Sign Up
You must have a completed BACKGROUND CHECK if you plan to volunteer at any event at Taylor this year. This must be completed every school year and only takes a few minutes. Information to complete this can be found HERE.
Thank you for your support of Taylor Elementary! As always, funds raised by the book fair go right back into resources and programming for our students.
Book Fair Chair: Alona Deeke
