​​May 10: PTA General Membership Meeting, 7 pm in the cafeteria (childcare will be provided)

Thank you to those who attended the PTA-sponsored special community educational event with Rachel Bailey on fostering resilience in children. For those of you who missed it, the recording is available. Here are some tips from the session:

1. Ask your kids to provide solutions when they come to you with a problem instead of fixing it for them. "What do you need?" "What do you think you could do?"
2. Allow your kids to provide solutions to your problems. Share with them something you find challenging, even if you are creating the issue just for this discussion. For example, "I double booked my calendar. What would you do?"
3. Teach your kids how to identify their unhealthy coping mechanisms and help them form a plan to ride out moments of discomfort. 
4. Realize that giving kids what they want is not the same as giving them what they need.

​APPLAUSE AND GRATITUDE to Chris Smith, our outgoing 2022-2023 UMES PTA President, and to Julia Lopez Divack, our outgoing Recording Secretary. We really appreciate all of the time and passion you have both donated, as well as the good dance tunes donated at live events by Chris! If you run into Chris or Julia, please let them know how much their work was appreciated. 

CONGRATULATIONS to our 2023-2024 UMES PTA Board! Thank you in advance for the hard work. ​

Teacher Appreciation Time is Here! May 8-12
APPLAUSE AND GRATITUDE to all of those who have signed up to volunteer throughout Teacher Appreciation Week and/or who have donated items. It is so wonderful to see how much the UMES community cares about staff! We still need just a few volunteers to help with set up of food for breakfasts and lunches, as well as for recess monitoring to give the teachers and specialists "the gift of time." And we've added opportunities to donate gift cards for Thursday's raffles or funds for the entire effort.       Sign up to help out!

​Even if you only have an hour a month, we would appreciate your help! Sign up to help with a specific event or based on your skills and/or availability.
