Dear Member,
Friday was the NYPS-PTA. It was the closing of a successful chapter and the beginning of a new journey for the PTA Committee. We would like to thank all the committee Members who have stepped down and welcome the new Members onboard. Those stepping down were: Mr. Benjamin Pwee, the President since 2007, Mrs. Sally Lee, the Second Vice-President, who had served the PTA before the PTA was officially registered as a legal entity (25 years); Mrs. Phyllis Tan, since 2001, Ms. Chng Seo Ping, since 2005; Ms. Christine Tow, since 2007; Ms. Qwek Wei, since 2005, Mrs. Angeline Teo and Mrs. Suan Yeh, both since 2009. They have left behind a strong legacy and a sturdy “ship” for the new PTA Committee to continue to pilot.
I have been elected to the post of Second Vice-President; therefore, this is the last time I am writing to you via E-notice as the Head of Parent Resource. However, the E-notice culture is in good hands and will continue. Mrs. Sandra Koh will be heading the Parent Resource team. Many members have provided feedbacks that they are happy with being kept informed of the PTA activities via E-notice. Sandra has lined up programs which the Parent Resource team will roll out soon. I hope you will give her the same full support as you have given me.
I would also like to thank all the parents who have expressed interest in joining the Sub-Committees. The numbers were encouraging. Please continue to let us know your “hidden” talent and passion. Once the direction of the new Committee has been set, Sandra will contact parents who have expressed an interest.
I would like to urge you to come for the Coffee Break with the MDA on May 3 (Details can be found below). The activity is free for all Members and the timing is just nice for you to pick up your kid(s) after the event. Please make your reservation at rsvp.nypspta@gmail.com 
Thank you for your support in the past 2 years. I am looking forward to serve you better in my new capacity.
Best regards,
Filona Hang
