GET INVOLVED

There are many ways to be involved in your children's educational experience in Middle School!! The PTSA is committed to a variety of programs and we always welcome those who are interested in helping. Please contact us to let us know how you would like to participate!

 

We always need additional volunteers for any of our Committees. There is a Committee for every interest and time commitment.  Even working parents can contribute!  It's a great way to be involved in your child's education and meet new people as well.

 

Your help is needed!  Complete the Volunteer Interest form and we will be in touch with you.  There is no commitment by completing this interest form.

STUDENT AGENDAS

The survey results for agendas were mixed. For the 2023-24 school year the use of agendas will be optional.

Agendas are available for sale on the PTSA website for $5 each and can be picked up on Soaring Day.

Each year the eighth grade has a shirt designed by one of our very own 8th grade designers.  The back of the shirt includes the names of all the 8th grade students. (Shirts are 100% cotton)   Shirts will be worn for all 8th grade activities throughout the school year.  All proceeds from this shirt will be used to support the 8th grade end of year activities.

 

In addition the PTSA is collecting funds on behalf of the 8th grade class to support the 8th grade dance and other end of year activities.  We are suggesting that each family donate $25 to this fund but any amount is appreciated.

 

Order your 8th Grade Shirt & Donate to the 8th grade end of year fund.
