Join the PTA
PTA PARENT/TEACHER PARTNERSHIPS AND MEMBERSHIP! $6.00!!!! ANYONE CAN JOIN!
PTA is extending sign ups for joining PTA. The cost of joining is $6.00. They would love for each parent in each classroom to join PTA and show our support for GQES! Our PTA provides many things for our school, and becoming a member of our PTA ensures that you have a voice in those activities. In the past few years, our wonderful PTA has completed several beautification projects in and around GQES.
With PTA funds, we were able to do the following:
1) Purchase swing sets for Pre-K and K-5 playgrounds
2) Extend our walking track
3) Purchase Grade Level equipment for student enjoyment
4) Purchase Indoor recess materials
5) Resurface the blacktop on the playground
6) Host an amazing (AMAZING!) Walk-A-Thon!
Those are just a few of the things PTA has helped us with in the past few years. Please consider joining as soon as possible! We need everyone to help!
