Teacher Appreciation Week
We had wonderful participation in this year’s Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4–8). Our Hospitality Committee provided delicious staff meals on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, along with special treat bags on Wednesday. A big thank you to everyone who contributed food, funds, and time to make this week so special for our educators!
Unfundraiser
Instead of hosting a big event, we ask you to make a direct donation that goes straight to funding memorable student experiences. +Unfundraiser
Spring Teacher Grants
Thanks to the generosity of our members, we were able to conduct a second round of grants this year! This month, we approved and funded these teacher grant applications:
Art: Funding to replenish paints and clay for end-of-year painting and ceramics projects.
Counseling: Essential supplies for student engagement, regulation, and outreach events.
Music & Choir: High-quality audio equipment for school performances.
Teacher Grants Funded
The PTA approved $2,049.42 in teacher grants on 11/7. These funds include financing a "Medieval Bread" activity, procuring novels for Spanish courses and books for an English curriculum activity, covering some transportation costs for Earth & Science students to attend the Sacramento State Planetarium field trip, and purchasing a variety of balls for Physical Education and intramural programs.
Snack Sales
Help us sell snacks at home games to raise money for school programs! We need volunteers and donated snacks. +Help Out
Teacher Appreciation
We welcomed teachers and staff back to school by providing a catered lunch during Web Day (August 22). We also hosted a coffee for parents.
Student Dance
Thank you for the donations of refreshments and thank you to the 10 parents who volunteered their time as chaperones to make the Holmes Hallow’s Eve Dance a safe success.
