On Friday, October 10th, I visited the Carrollton Early Childhood PTA at Holy Covenant Methodist Church. It was an amazing experience, and all of the parents were extremely friendly and helpful. I gave a brief presentation about the HIPPY model and my goal to start a HIPPY program in Carrollton. I passed out a flier I made called “The 1-2-3’s of HIPPY”, which listed the philosophy, goals, model and benefits of HIPPY, and asked that anyone who was interested in the program and in school readiness sign up for my mailing list. School readiness and parent involvement are so important for pre-k children, and I’m excited about the HIPPY model and getting a program in Carrollton started. And that can only happen if parents are interested and want it! And from the number of parents that signed up for my mailing list, parents do want it! Exciting!
They also invited me to their 18th Annual Silent Auction on Friday, November 14th, which will be held to raise money for their amazing organization. The CECPTA then uses 100% of the money raised to promote the welfare of area children and their families through parent education, children’s programs, community outreach and family activities. Sounds like a really fun event!If anyone would like further information about the Carrollton Early Childhood PTA, their website is http://www.cecpta.org .

Sarah, This is good stuff! We're proud of you and hope you keep the blog updated with what is going on in your life. I'm in Utah, Matt is in Sewanee, TN, and the girls (Diane and Mallory) are in Murfreesboro TN. I'm going home almost every weekend and they come up here too. Mallory was here a few weeks ago and Matt is here this week visiting HS friends during his fall break. Anyway, take care and let us know if we can ever help. Uncle Tim and Diane
