My tip this week is to steal and steal again. Have you checked out the File Exchange on ptotoday.com lately? We have a lot of web visitors who swear it's their favorite part of our site, or at least the most practical.

There are now almost 900 docs on the Exchange -- all just sitting there ready for you to swipe. You need a welcome letter to parents? Someone's already written it. You need an involvement flyer? That's there, too.

Here are three of our most stolen (downloaded) docs:

• Volunteer Interest Survey


• 112 Suggested Auction Items


• Room Parent Resource Binder

Now for a request: With the year coming to a close, did you or one of your fellow leaders create a doc or letter or flyer that worked especially well? If so, would you please upload it to the Exchange to share with others? It's really easy to do. That kind of sharing (so that others may steal) is what makes the File Exchange so helpful. Thanks in advance.
