For the Jaguars, Welcome Back August 2021
Letter from your PTA President
Dear Families,
On behalf of the Jenks PTA Executive Board I would like to welcome you to the 2021-2022 school year. To our Kindergarten and new families: Welcome to Jenks Elementary! For those of you I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, my name is Rebecca Van Epp and I am your PTA President. After volunteering remotely for most of the past year, we are so excited to return to campus in person. We have been working hard throughout the summer in preparation for an amazing year ahead for our students, teachers, and families.
The Jenks PTA is an integral part of our school. Not only do we host fun events throughout the year, we also help fund educational programs that benefit all of our students, as well as campus enhancements that benefit our entire school. We also provide volunteer support in the library, workroom, and the classroom. We have been able fund these programs and activities in previous years because of the support of our Jenks families.
Our PTA members help make all of this possible. If you have not already joined our amazing organization, I encourage you to visit joinpta.org to join today. Your membership gives you a voice at PTA meetings, access to our PTA membership directory, discounts at various businesses and - most importantly - you are supporting the oldest and largest child advocacy organization in the US!
Becoming a PTA member does not mean you are expected Volunteer – however, for our community to be strong, everyone’s participation is essential. Many parents feel they cannot participate in the PTA because of language barriers or they cannot be available during the day because of work - please don’t let that discourage you. Whether you have 30 minutes or a few hours, your time, your ideas, your talents, and/or your voice are truly needed and appreciated. There are endless possibilities for family members to contribute, and we can match any time constraints and abilities to needed tasks. I encourage you to fill out our volunteer form https://tinyurl.com/jk7d8trc and look at all the volunteer opportunities we have.
As we begin the 2021-2022 school year, please feel free to contact me anytime with questions or suggestions. My email is presidentmjepta@gmail.com
I wish you all a fulfilling and productive year ahead! Thank you for your support.
For the Jaguars,
Rebecca Van Epp
