Dear Families
Due to resignations of the co-presidents, per our PTSA standing rules
, see here,
, the Co-VPs of Communications (Luna Egido & Sangeetha Visweswaran) have been appointed as the Interim Presidents until the next general membership meeting where a new president could get elected. Please send in your nominations for this year / next year to
nominations@rosaparksptsa.org
.
This year’s Fun Run did not bring in all the funds we had budgeted for various enrichment and community activities. Due to that, PTSA will not be able to sponsor a few enrichment activities. Thanks to all who have donated towards our PTSA. Remember, if you haven’t completed your fun run donations or matching your fun run donations, please do so ASAP to help us sponsor all of the enrichment activities we were planning for this year.
Also some companies match your volunteer hours, so if you have volunteered for Art Smart, STEM adventures or any PTSA event, please submit your hours for matching donations towards “Rosa Parks PTSA”. We are also working with the school on other fundraising options to bridge the gap in Fun Run fundraising.
While we are working on getting more funds, in parallel we have been busy with all our other committed activities towards Nature Vision, E-Prep, Art Smart, STEM Adventures, Spirit wear, Community events, Sustainability, TAC, Extensive After school programs and many more and will continue to do so the rest of the school year.
Thank you all for your support of the PTSA and don’t forget to complete your matching donations and hours!
