Can you loan a chainsaw or minivan?
If you can help with either of these requests, please email Melissa Sabatier at melissa.sabatier@gmail.com.
Preorder your tree and wreath now!
Preorder your tree on the Ross website for a discount, through Dec 3. And consider donating a tree to a neighbor who otherwise wouldn't have one.
By buying your tree from Ross, you'll be ready to decorate for the holidays and provide needed support for our school.
And please spread the word among local friends, family, and neighbors by sharing this link!
In place of a fall membership drive, the PTA is inviting our school community to Fall for Ross.
Visit our webpage to take the pledge, make a donation, and sign up to volunteer!
Progress to Goals:
- 67% to our goal of raising $50,000 (~$300 per student)
- 35% to our goal of engagement from all Ross families
Why support the PTA? Because each year the Ross PTA needs to raise more than $150,000 to offset school operating costs, enabling Principal Searl to use school funds to hire additional teaching staff not budgeted for by DCPS. Learn more about the Ross PTA here.
