Dear Poplar Tree Families,
Congratulations to all students who participated in the spelling bee last night. We were so proud of each student's bravery for getting up on the stage to spell some very difficult words. It really shows how Goal Directed & Resilient they are! A special Congratulations to our our winner Abhinav Prasath and our runner up Nishanth Manthripagada!
Just a reminder Monday, February 18 is Presidents Day and a holiday for students and teachers. The following Monday, February 24 is a 3-hour early release day. Look our for confirmation of what your child will do be doing for the early release day next week!
Have a wonderful weekend!

🗳️ 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! 🖐🏼
