The Parent Teacher Organization of the Greek School of the Assumption would like to wish you and your families a very Happy New Year filled with health and prosperity. As we reflect upon the events of 2009 we would like to thank all of you who supported our fundraisers via donations, purchasing items or by volunteering your precious time.
Your support allows us to provide our students with extra curricular activities and equipment that assist in enhancing their Greek School education.

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to our Greek School students and teachers on a job well done for their wonderful and entertaining Christmas Pageant performance. Those who attended the event on Tuesday, December 22, enjoyed the children’s performances as well as the dinner and festivities of the evening that were provided by the dedicated parents of the P.T.O. We thank you for all of your generous donations and hard work.

As we begin our journey with Christ into Great Lent, witness His Passion and await His glorious Resurrection we ask that you continue to support the P.T.O. As we reflect upon our many blessings we must show compassion to our fellow man as our Lord and Savior has taught us. Together with the Sunday School the P.T.O. will be hosting a Bake Sale on Sunday, February 28th. This bake sale is very special because all of the proceeds and monetary donations will be donated to“The Red Cross” for the Haitian Relief Fund. With so much to be thankful for we must join together and be “Good Samaritans” and help those who are less fortunate and in need of assistance.

The Sunday School & Greek School P.T.O. will be hosting their annual Saturday of Lazarus Breakfast and Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 27th. Everyone is welcomed to join us as we partake of the Divine Liturgy and wonderful breakfast. The children will enjoy games and festivities as we invite the parents to assist The Ladies Philoptochos in making the Palms that will be distributed to the congregation on Palm Sunday. Please purchase our beautiful handmade Lambades/Easter Candles and join us in singing “Christos Anesti”“Christ is Risen”.

We invite you to join the Greek School P.T.O. students and teachers on Sunday, April 11th as we all partake in The Greek Independence Day Celebration and Greek School P.T.O. Spring Raffle and Luncheon. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as Greeks, Family and Compatriots to remember and appreciate the sacrifices and struggles that our forefathers had to endure, so that we can preserve and teach our children our beautiful Greek language and rich culture.

The P.T.O. typically meets every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. in the conference room located in the upper level of the Community Center. P.T.O. membership dues are $10 per family. The P.T.O. invites you to join our meetings and become an active member in our organization. We look forward to meeting you and helping you become your child’s advocate in their Greek Education and Learning.

The P.T.O. would like to wish you and your families a blessed Lenten season. May the blessings of our Lord and Panagia be with you and your families.

Respectfully yours, on behalf of the P.T.O., Mrs. Dimitra M. Dimeck P.T.O. President
