WE ARE ALL HERE RIGHT NOW

BUT MANY OF OUR FAMILIES CAME FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE GLOBE

WHICH MEANS THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF WAYS OF THINKING

AND A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE TO OFFER OUR STUDENTS AND EACHOTHER

OUR COMMUNITY- PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS

When you join PTSA as a member you are immediately connected to your community, new resources and the school network.

There are intrinsic benefits to joining as well. You get to watch yourself grow in your skills, you become an advocate are invited to speak up, you get to witness and take part in improvement of the school community.

As a member you have an equal say and a vote in the decisions we make as an association.

You get to be a role model for your student or if you are a student- for your peers.

WHAT WE FUND

Teachers

Students

We give a grant to each department every year to ensure that they have additional funding to provide our students with the materials they need.

We support our students by providing support when teams like the Science Olympiad and Math Olympiad need entry fees for competitions. We also provide support to the school to help with the Yosemite Trip.

Last year our PTSA installed 3 new filtered water refill stations.

Volunteer for an event

I like helping but I am not particularly social.

Extrovert

I like helping and I’m willing to put myself out there

Some of our hands on tasks involve making dishes for events or helping with preparation of materials for events.

We are looking for people to help with marketing/advertising, website support and photography skills.

Please consider either chairing or joining a committee that supports our PTSA activities.

You take part in the decision making process and have a chance to give your input.

It is a great way to meet other parents/staff and to enjoy seeing the students have fun.

DONATIONS

DIRECT DONATIONS

We are hoping to get 100% donation participation from our families.

Although our suggested donation amount is $250 per student, we appreciate any amount because every little bit helps

STAFF & TEACHER APPRECIATION

Twice a year we celebrate our teachers and staff for all that they do. Once in December and again in May. At that time we will ask for monetary donations for gift cards and to contribute money/food for a potluck to show our gratitude.

These contributions are not eligible for corporate match.
