SOUT HMOOR ELEMENTARY PTOFebruary 13, 2014
Hello, Southmoor Families!
Earlier this week you should have received an email from Southmoor PTO with a link to a survey on wellness at Southmoor. This survey is an important first step toward determining our community’s impressions on the current wellness environment at our school and efforts that could be made toward making wellness more of a priority for our students, staff and families. Ultimately, we are looking to form a Wellness Team at school to make improvements – if this is something that interests you, please let me know. In the meantime, please take a few minutes to provide your opinion – the feedback is greatly appreciated!.
