PTA Newsletter Special Edition
Our amazing PTA programs need amazing people like you to help keep them running next year. Without volunteers, several of our programs may collapse or won't run as well as they have in the past. Our students need your help!
There are a variety of both big and small ways that our parents and extended family members can help and be involved.
(Yes, you can ask grandparents, aunts, and uncles!)
It only takes a little effort to make a big difference!
Please email
volunteer@puestadelsolpta.org
to sign up or to find out more about any of these great programs. We can help match up your time and interests with a program that fits you.
Don't forget to join us at the annual
Wednesday, June 12 at 6 pm in the school library.
