Dear Tesla STEM families - an integral part of the Tesla STEM PTSA is to promote the well-being of kids in our community. To this end we turn to you and respectfully ask for your support in covering essential needs of families in our community facing hardship over the winter break. We ask for your participation in the Holiday Gift Card Drive.
How you can help, 2 ways:
- Donate a Target* e-card: Please select and sign-up for a Target gift card(s) on the list in the amount you wish to donate (denominations in $10, $20, $25, $50, $100). See instructions. Copy and paste web address into your browser. Follow instructions to have it emailed to the PTSA by December 17th. Donate here.
- Donate a Fred Meyer* or Target card: Please select and sign-up for the gift card(s) on the list in the amount you wish to donate (denominations in $10, $20, $25, $50, $100). Purchase card at the appropriate store and drop it off in the designated box at the Tesla STEM High School office by December 17th. Sign-up here.

PTSA is here to help!

Tesla STEM PTSA believes that financial need shouldn't be a barrier to students fully participating in the Tesla STEM HS curriculum. To support that, the PTSA has partnered with the school counselors and Principal to provide scholarship funds to students in need.
Families who need help with fees and supplies are encouraged to contact their counselor at STEM with their requests.
Confidentiality of such requests is strictly maintained - requests are considered by the school and no one at PTSA knows the names of the requestors.
Please don't hesitate to contact the counselors, if PTSA can help.
