Dear Poplar Tree Families,
Our Principal's Message this week is brought to you by the Principal and Assistant Principal of the day! 6th grader Cecelia Sierra and 3rd grader Zoya Nanji were the winners of this in last year's PTA auction! If you would like your child to have this same opportunity, be sure to look for it at this year's auction!
We had an amazing time being Principal and Assistant Principal of the day! We got to see all the inner workings of the school such as the boiler room, storage room, and more! It was such a delight to visit some of the classrooms, to observe students learning and participating in class. It was fun when we monitored recess and lunch because we got to help so many students. We also loved reading to the Kindergarten and First Graders. At dismissal, we helped preschoolers get to their buses. Poplar Tree is truly an amazing place to be!
Yours truly,
Principal Cecelia Sierra
Assistant Principal Zoya Nanji

🗳️ 2025-2026 PTA Nominating Committee 🗳️
The next school year seems far away - but we need your help for the 2025-26 PTA!
The PTA board transitions over late spring in preparation for the next school year. We are looking for 3 PTA members to serve on the nominating committee to help identify candidates for next year’s board.
Why should you consider supporting PTES/PTA in this role?
- Do your kids love our PTA-sponsored after-school programs and events like Spelling Bee and the Panther Prowl?
- Are your kids involved in sports and other activities where you connect with other PTES parents and can help spread the word about the value of our PTA?
- Do you know members of the Poplar Tree ES community who you would trust to lead all of the great programs the PTA supports for the students and teachers?
- Have you previously served on a board or a committee, but don't have the time for a long-term leadership role right now?
- The committee will specifically look to recommend candidates for President, President-elect, 6 VP positions, Treasurer and Secretary.
You can help ensure the continued success of the PTA by volunteering for this committee with a minimal time commitment. No previous PTA leadership experience is necessary
Here is a rough timeline of upcoming related activities:
- February 20: Elect the nominating committee
- March: Q&A with PTA Board
- April: Present nominees for 2025-26 PTA Board
- May: Hold general membership election
All members of the nominating committee must be PTA members.
Main duties include helping solicit PTA board nominees, collecting nomination applications, and helping to present nominees for election.
Email poplartreepta@gmail.com if you are interested in serving on the committee by February 19th.
🖐🏼Join the PTA! 🖐🏼
Our PTA supports the school in many ways! Join the PTA today to help contribute to our awesome school community!
