To ensure all students at Spring Glen School are able to participate in after school enrichment activities, the PTA covers scholarships for after school activities for some students from lower income households. These payments to after school providers covered the cost of approximately a couple dozen students participating in after school program activities. 4667 The PTA subsidizes and supports several student field trips for the approximately 370 students at Spring Glen School, from Kindergarten through 6th Grade. While all grades benefit from PTA support for Field Trips, the 6th Grade class participates in the most / most expensive field trips, including a day trip to New York City (including Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty) as part of a unit where students learn about immigration. 13461 The PTA supports the production of the annual school play. These expenses include fees paid to the Hamden school district for space, lighting, and sound to put on the play at Hamden Middle School, cost of supplies / props, and professional fees paid to the play director. 4260 The PTA paid $2,800 in the past fiscal year to cover enrichment programming, including assembly performances for Hispanic Heritage Month and Black History Month, plus an author visit to the school for her to read to and meet with students. Assemblies are participated in by all approximately 370 students at Spring Glen School. 2800 To celebrate Spring Glen School's 100th anniversary, the PTA funded a mural installation in the school cafeteria by a professional muralist. The mural will be enjoyed by both the current approximately 370 students at Spring Glen School, as well as future classes of students at the school. 2500 27688 Rachel Gasana President 2.00 0 0 0 Karl Hennig Secretary 1.00 0 Charles Barnett Co-Treasurer 2.00 0 0 0 Misha Serfillippi VP Membership 4.00 0 Josh Groffman VP Enrichment 1.00 0 Kathleen Connors Co-Treasurer 1.00 0 false false false false false 0 false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false CT Charles Barnett 39 Jackson Road Hamden CT 06517 6173126245 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 0 0 0 8822 8822 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8822 8822 0 8822 0 0 0 0 0 0 8822 44452 1.00000 0.00000 X Part II, Line 10 During the COVID-19 pandemic, our elementary school PTA -- which relies entirely on unpaid parental volunteers -- was adversely impacted as for a period of time many parents struggling with the pandemic were unable to muster sufficient time to continue volunteering for the PTA while also working full time jobs and taking care of their small children. As a result, for several years the PTA significantly reduced its level of activity and some information was lost as prior PTA board members moved out of the school district. Accordingly, the PTA does not have easy access to records for the years immediately preceding 2023. Over the past year, our PTA has rebuilt its board and membership and has developed transition protocols to avoid a repeat of the disrupted transition of information and knowledge which occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
