The main objective of the PTA is to improve relations between the school and home so that the child will receive the best education. The PTA has one major fund raising project each year—the all school carnival. The funds are spent on projects that will help students and teachers in as many areas as possible. MThe Fortunate Fours program, an audio and visual screening for the 4 year olds, has been a PTA sponsored project the past 2 years. Various health clinics are also held. The Boy and Girl Scout troops is a newly sponsored project. Mrs. Jerry Wright is the coordinator. Items purchased this year by the PTA are: careers file for the guidance department, small tools for the shop, and a popcorn machine to be used at the ball games. Nationally, the PTA celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1972 and for the occasion a com- memorative stamp was issued by the Postal De- partment.
