The PTA is the result of the hard work of such women as Phoebe Apperson Hearst and Alice McLellan Birney, founders of the original National Congress of Mothers, and Selma Sloan Butler, who, with the support of the National PTA, founded the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers. When the two organizations merged in 1970, so did their identical mission to improve children's lives. The book profiles these women's work on such issues as juvenile justice, kindergarten classes, child labor laws, hot lunch programs, car safety, the Salk polio vaccine, today's National Education Goals, and the PTA Web site.

  • 210205 TKS Newsletter Week 5
    Week 5, Friday 5th Feb 2021 Head Teacher updates This week has seen many of our families and students undertaking a variety of activities on Wednesday to support 'Children's Mental Health' week. It has been such a delight to see the work, PowerPoints and photos, it has really provided a positive boost for everyone. I have seen 6ft homemade squids, tasty meals and fabulous cakes, amongst marathon running, model building and so much more, it's been fabulous. Thank you all for your kind words of support regarding this event, it is so useful to know what we are trying to do together is having a positive impact. Our Keyworker students in school completed an array of activities including valentine crafts, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory production, cake making, sports and costume making but to name a few. Student feedback has been exceptionally positive about the day's event, which is pleasing and important. A group of students also undertook the National Maths challenge this week, well done! We welcome the Chief Medical Officer’s announcement that we are past the peak of the latest wave of the pandemic. Of course, such confirmation is accompanied by the sadness for those whose lives the pandemic has claimed – including Captain Sir Tom Moore – and those it will inevitably claim in the coming weeks. But there is some comfort to be taken that the tide appears to be turning. Indeed, we passed the milestone this week of 10 million people having received the vaccination. The TKS Test Centre on site continues to support our fight against Covid-19.

    “What a load of crap. Next time, mate, keep your drug tripping private.” JACQUES A person on Facebook. STEWART “What utter drivel” Another person on Facebook. “I may be in the minority here, but I find these editorial pieces to be completely unreadable garbage.” Guess where that one came from. “No, you’re not. Honestly, I think of this the same Bond thinks of his obituary by M.” Chap above’s made a chum. This might be what Facebook is for. That’s rather lovely. Isn’t the internet super? “I don’t get it either and I don’t have the guts to say it because I fear their rhetoric or they’d might just ignore me. After reading one of these I feel like I’ve walked in on a Specter round table meeting of which I do not belong. I suppose I’m less a Bond fan because I haven’t read all the novels. I just figured these were for the fans who’ve read all the novels including the continuation ones, fan’s of literary Bond instead of the films. They leave me wondering if I can even read or if I even have a grasp of the language itself.” No comment. This ebook is not for sale but only available as a free download at Commanderbond.net.

"Yes. Who sent you?" "Mr. Laurence. I have got a letter for the lady." "All right; go up to the house, and give it to her; she'll see to you, little chap." The man spoke pleasantly, and the boy went on, feeling much cheered by the words. Through the soft spring rain that fell on sprouting grass and budding trees, Nat saw a large square house before him a hospitable-looking house, with an old-fashioned porch, wide steps, and lights shining in many windows.
