Calling All Volunteers: Help Launch Chess & STEAM Enrichment Programs!

Our PTSA is excited to offer after school enrichment opportunities for our students, but we can’t do it without your help!  We are currently seeking volunteers for the following programs:

  • STEAM After-School Program: Help us bring hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math activities to life.
  • Chess Club: We aim to launch in January but need additional volunteers to get started.

No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to support and engage with our students!

If you’re interested or have questions, please reach out to Emad. Thank you for helping make these programs possible for our kiddos!

Green Team Recycling Tips for December:

The Green Team would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays. With all the gift giving there is also a lot of WASTE.  Think about how you can reduce your footprint by giving gifts with less plastic packaging.  Although wrapping paper, bows and ribbons are beautiful and festive, they create a whole lot of garbage.  Most wrapping paper isn't recyclable.  

  • Can you reuse wrapping paper or color a paper bag to make it festive and wrap your gifts in that?! 
  • The Green Team repurposed old T-Shirts into gift bags that can be reused.  Find directions on how to make your own here

Be GREEN this season and give gifts with the planet in mind!

  

If you want to receive a school directory, you must be a PTSA member.  We welcome your support - thank you!
