First and foremost, welcome back to school and a warm welcome to the class of 2033!  This year we will be faced with unprecedented challenges.  The 2020-2021 school year will be unlike almost any other.  As we begin sending our kids to virtual school and potentially hybrid schooling, we are all preparing to become para-educators.  Teachers are learning to teach to a room without children.  Your PTA has made some major pivots to support both staff and students.  In a normal year, we would be preparing for an in-person Walk-A-Thon and the Big Give letter campaign.  Our events team would have a calendar of exciting social activities like 1st Day Coffee,  Ice Cream Social, Pumpkin Bash, Movie Night, a Mariners game, etc.  We would be welcoming our new Amity Interns to the Puesta del Sol Family.  The Walk-A-Thon will be postponed and will likely have to be done differently.  There will be no envelopes or people greeting you at the school for the Big Give.  We recognize that times are tough and simply ask that if you are in position to make a donation, please do so.  For other ways to get involved, join/renew your membership and please consider volunteering.  Membership information and volunteer opportunities can be found on our website www.puestadelsolpta.org.

 

This year, unlike years past, our classroom grants will be made by grade level.  Since we will not be in the classrooms for at least the first 6 weeks and potentially longer, this will allow our amazing teachers to coordinate potentially larger expenditures as a group.  Your PTA will continue making adjustments throughout this year to best support our staff, students, and families. Please let us know how the PTA can help you.
