Message From the President

Dear HTS and PVS Families!

Welcome Back! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer! The Bowen family had a great one with lots of days at the shore, summer camps, ice cream, day trips and even some back to school shopping (AMAZON to the rescue).  As another school year starts and we get back to our regular routines and packed schedules, I do hope you will find a little time to join the PTA for a fun year!  To all of our new Harrison Township families, simply put, I think you’re going to Love it here! I’ve never been so moved by a community of friendly, generous and caring people as when I moved to the district and I can’t imagine being anywhere else.

Once again this year, the PTA has some fabulous activities planned for everyone and I hope you will come out for some of the fun!  Our talented Board members have worked through the summer to plan what I think will be our best year ever!  We will continue to make changes, try new things and communicate even more with you!  Once again, we will be doing fewer fundraisers than in years past while still focusing on fun!  All of our information can be found on our website www.harrisonpta.org and don’t forget to “Like” us on Facebook @ www.facebook.com/harrisontwppta/ . 

Finally, please consider joining the PTA.  As always, we need your help in order to provide the services and awesome activities we have planned. I can promise that your time will NEVER be wasted if you do!  Simply put by an unknown author:  “Volunteers are love in motion!”  Think of it this way…Volunteering with the PTA sends a message to your kids that they are important and that you want to be a part of their “school life”.  Thanks in advance and I hope that this school year is the best yet!

Kind Regards,

Jennifer A. Bowen
