ENJOY THE SUMMER, ROGERS PARK!
First on this update from the PTA, a message from our exiting president:
“I'd like to thank everyone who helped at the school in any capacity this year - counting laps at jog-a-thon during a rare break in the rainy fall, bringing in a dish to share at one of the potlucks, tying skates at a cold winter recess, encouraging young readers through the book fair and read-a-thon, patiently waiting for pizza at a movie night, donating your time/money/knowledge/resources to any of our events, and so much more! The PTA can't be successful without its members and volunteers. We are truly blessed to support a great staff at Rogers Park, and I hope you will continue your membership next year.”
Our next PTA meeting is scheduled for: Thursday, September 14th, 2023, at 06:00 PM.
