PTA Membership/Fundraising Drive Ends This Week!!
We still have $10,236 to go to reach our membership and fundraising goal. If you haven't yet joined the PTA and shown your support for the programs, activities and events your family enjoys, now is the time! If only 4 families from each class join with the recommended donation, we will reach our goal! We need YOU to reach our goal and fully fund our budget.
Classrooms that add 4 more families to the PTA will be treated with a hot cocoa party! If you haven't already, return your membership form in your Thursday folder this week, Feds can donate via CFC or you can donate directly via PayPal! Contact Kathy Tran or Angela Shogren, PTA Membership Co-Chairs, with any questions.
 Reflections Entries Due Friday!
Reflections entries are due this Friday in the front office - additional details and entry forms are available on the PTA Website. Entries will be judged equally by the artistic expression and how best they incorporated this year’s Reflections theme: Heroes Around Me. Students can submit works in the following categories: Visual Arts, Photography, Literature, Music Composition, Film Production, and/or Dance Choreography. Winners of the school competition will have their entries moved on to the district, state, and even the NATIONAL level! Contact Kristy and Sean Thomas, PTA Reflections Co-chairs, with any questions.
