Membership thank you
| | A tremendous thank you goes out to all of the parents, students, faculty and staff who have joined the PTSA so far this year!
As of last week, our membership stood at 546 members, which is on par with last year. We are especially happy with this number since we had no Web store purchase option this year. This meant that you all had to fill out a paper form and write out a check or pull cash out of your wallet. We appreciate the extra effort and are very appreciative of your support.
As a reminder, PTSA members are eligible for discounts on a variety of products and services. For details, just go to www.capta.org, click on "Join/Support PTA" and then on "Membership Perks."
Of course, if you haven't had a chance to join, it's definitely not too late! Just complete the PTSA membership form and drop it off along with your membership dues in the school office.
If you joined and have not received a membership card, please email membership chair Matt Lovett, include your address, and we'll pop it into the mail to you.
Be sure to mark your calendars for our next PTSA meeting, Tuesday, November 1 at 7:00pm in the school library. Everyone is welcome!
