A Message From the PTA President!
On behalf of the PTA, we welcome everyone back to school! We thank everyone who supported the PTA this month by becoming PTA members, purchasing our Mission Possible spirit wear, and attending our Volunteer Orientation!
We encourage you to check the school calendar for upcoming PTA sponsored events! The PTA is excited for the year ahead and much-anticipated programs such as: our inaugural Trunk or Treat, Grandparents Day Celebration, Breakfast with Santa, Bingo, Talent Show, and Field Day! Fun times ahead at Thalia ES!
We are currently collecting BOX TOPS through October 13th! Each Box Top is worth ten cents and they add up quickly to help support the PTA mission to help provide funding for activities and programs at our amazing school! Clip, save, and send those Box Tops in!
PTA cannot do all that we do at Thalia ES without your help! Thank you for your continued support of PTA sponsored activities. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
