It’s hard to believe it’s November already.

behind us – don’t miss your chance to help
make this a memorable year for your sons and
daughters! Check out this newsletter for
opportunities to get involved!
Bay High School Class of 2016
Senior Parent News
From the Steering Committee
We need a chairperson for the After Prom
Wallies project. You know, the posters that hang
on the walls at After Prom so students, parents,
and friends can write a quick note to the Senior!
It is a fun project to work on and the kids really
enjoy having this momentum from After Prom.
Please contact me if you are interested in
chairing this project.
Thank you to everyone that has been supporting
the Senior Class fundraising efforts. We are off to
an amazing start!

Our next fundraiser is PIZZA HUT Thursdays.
Every Thursday through the end of the
regular NFL Football season, 20% of the
proceeds will be donated to the Senior
Parents Class of 2016. See the flyer later in
the newsletter
Things to keep in mind for this month:

As always, make sure that you regularly
check
our
senior
parent
website:
www.bhsparents.org. We will keep it updated
with all the latest class information.

Notes From the Treasurer
About half of the class of 2016 has paid
the senior fee. For those who have not
yet paid, I sent a reminder home with
your student in QRP. A Senior Activity
Fee will be required to meet the
obligations of the senior parent
sponsored events.
The Senior Activity Fee is $90 per
student. Checks should be made
payable to Bay High Senior Parents.
Payments can also be made on our
website via PayPal. A convenience fee
will be applied to cover our PayPal
expenses. This fee is due on or before
December 1, 2015. Please mail your
check to: Jacqueline Stang, 31115 Wolf
Road, Bay Village, OH 44140. If you
have any questions, you may contact
me at 440-823-2057.

Hello Senior Parents!
Welcome back to a brand new school year – I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful school like
Bay High- my son is a Sophomore this year but I know it will happen quickly that I will also be a Senior
parent before long. As many as you know parent involvement is a crucial element in the success of
children, schools and communities. PTSA membership is another way to be involved and stay
connected with what is going on in school. Through PTSA you are part of bigger network of parents and
families just like yourselves. PTSA provides great resources not only for your child but for your entire family.
By being part of PTSA you are a witness to improvements and positive changes in our school at all times.
Please consider joining and being part of “more than 4 billion” other people who share in the same goal
of providing a voice to every child in every school.
One last thought, each year PTSA awards close to $10,000 in scholarship money to qualifying seniors. To
apply for PTSA scholarship a parent and the child needs to be a member of PTSA. Please keep this in
mind as you prepare for college.
Please join our Bay High Parent Teacher Student Association today!
A membership form can be found in this newsletter.

Bay High School PTSA 2015-2016
