Everyone!
Welcome from the PTSA Board.
Whether you’re a new family or a
returning family, we’re looking forward to a great year with your help.

the left, inside you’ll see our plans
for other fundraisers as well as some
of the other activities & programs
coming up.
We invite you all to join as a PTSA

many reasons), but you do not have
to be a member to volunteer at PTSA
sponsored events.
(Note: Only PTSA members can handle money
at events such as the upcoming Book Fair for
example.)
Look for your $3 Spirit Wear

This is a fun event for the whole school — we’ll all be out jogging, running, or

Welcome
Everyone!
Welcome from the PTSA Board.
Whether you’re a new family or a
returning family, we’re looking forward to a great year with your help.
Along with the Jog-a-thon info to
the left, inside you’ll see our plans
for other fundraisers as well as some
of the other activities & programs
coming up.
We invite you all to join as a PTSA
member (a positive thing to do for
many reasons), but you do not have
to be a member to volunteer at PTSA
sponsored events.
(Note: Only PTSA members can handle money
at events such as the upcoming Book Fair for
example.)
Look for your $3 Spirit Wear
Coupon from Membership
in this Friday Folder if you
join by Sept 29.
