Our Philosophy The best for you & your growing child Our goal is to maximize your children’s academic opportunities during school time, so that families can have their evenings and weekends free to enjoy being together. The Directors of Star Academy have the child’s interests in mind, and also value the interests of the parents.

Thus, we take away the burden of shuffling schedules, circuitous driving, and no family time or weekend time to yourselves. Mission Statement The Star Academy’s primary objective is to capture a child’s natural curiosity and to develop his/her potential as a lifelong learner. Our educational goals are based on our thoughtfully planned recognition of what the parents need for their children and what children need to succeed. Our Philosophy Each child carries tremendous potential within. Our goal at Star Academy is to gently lead each child to realize their innate potential at the highest degree.

Attendee Introductions All in attendance introduced themselves. b. What is the PTA and what does it do? There are two key roles for the PTA: 1.) community building and 2.) fundraising to support programming for our kids. ● Building Community: We host great events that bring us together! They are lots of fun. Examples include the Halloween party (soon!), Rhythm and Rice, movie nights. We need helping hands for committees and events -- we all need to work together to make these events successful. ● Raising money to help the school: We are operating in a context of structural inequalities of funding as schools don't get enough from the city or state. We need to raise money in order to provide the programming we want for our kids. Our fundraising priorities for this year are: ○ Fund a large budget ○ Increase direct donations from families ○ Increase corporate donations ○ Reduce event fundraising fatigue ○ Spread the organizational duties by engaging more parents We want PTA meetings to be participatory and we aim for equitable participation. People should raise their hand if they want to talk we will keep the time allocated for each agenda items in mind. c. PTA Executive Team PTA Executive Team members present introduced themselves.
