PUMA PRESS – PTA News & Information: January 7, 2026


PTA News

Dear Families,

Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing winter break. We are excited to have the students back at school!

We have a little over 5 months of school left, so please consider joining the PTA! Our goal this year is 300 members, and we are currently at 234 members. It does not require any time for volunteering, and your membership dues fund the school in many different ways (field trips, Fall & Spring events, assemblies, staff appreciation week, etc.). Thank you for your support!

Join the PTA

Also, our next PTA meeting will take place on Monday, January 26th. We hope you will join us (via Zoom) that day at 7pm!


Spirit Night - Chick-Fil-A

Join us TONIGHT at Chick-Fil-A from 4 - 8pm. It will take place at the Fair Lakes location. Please don’t forget to enter the code “PUMAS” when placing online orders. See you all there!
