    MIKE MORGAN - Co-President Candidate 
    I am a stay-at-home Dad and community volunteer with a business and consulting background.  I believe in giving back and paying it forward.  My passions are leadership, community, and youth.  My wife (Jen) and I have 2 sons, Ned (rising 6th grader at SRMS) and Eric (rising 4th grader at Horizon Elementary School).  I am currently President of the Horizon Elementary School PTA (2nd year; former Senior Vice President of Educational Programs for 1 year; former Treasurer for 2 years).  I volunteer in both classrooms each week (6th year).  I am the Assistant Coach (6th year) of the Dominion High School Varsity Swim Team.  In January, I was appointed as the Algonkian District Representative to the Loudoun County Joint Board of Supervisors and School Board Standing Committee Citizen Volunteer Work Group.
     
    Amy Curran and I have worked very well together on the Horizon Elementary School PTA for 6 years.  We look forward to serving as Co-Presidents of the SRMS PTO.   We will lead a partnership among Thunderbolts parents, teachers, administrators, & staff, and students.  We seek to complement and supplement the education of our children through SRMS PTO programs, activities, and events that enhance school spirit and sense of community; support teaching and learning; go above and beyond the 3Rs of Reading, (W)Riting, and (A)Rithmetic --> Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Art, Music, Physical Education, Character Education, life skills, etc.  We will focus on the benefits and value of joining, volunteering, and participating.  We will bring experience, ideas, input, energy, and enthusiasm, and a strong network in the Dominion Cluster (Horizon, Lowes Island, Meadowland, and Sugarland Elementary Schools; SRMS; DHS) and Loudoun community.  We look forward to making SRMS PTO, SRMS, and community impact.

    I would like to serve SRMS as your PTO President.  I have served our community with various roles on the Horizon PTA.  I served as VP of Staff Relations; President of the PTA for 2 years; VP for 2 years and VP of Fundraising. My daughter is a rising 9th grader at DHS and I will have a rising 6th grader at SRMS.  Mike Morgan and I have worked together for many years on the PTA board and feel that we can bring some new energy to our school.  I look forward to meeting you throughout the school year and welcome any new ideas that you would like to bring to our community here at SRMS.

What a Teacher Appreciation Week!

 

Thank you for your very generous Sponsor-A-Teacher donations, which allowed the PTO to offer treats to the 130+ teachers and staff of SRMS.  All were delighted!
TAW treats

 

On Monday, teachers were treated to a coffee and light breakfast in each of the three house lounges.  On Wednesday, our rolling coffee cart visited each classroom with Starbucks and fresh-baked scones from Great Harvest Bread.  On Friday, lunch was catered by Maggiano's Little Italy and thank you notes written by the students were given to the teachers.
