From Nermeen Louis, PTA President
Hello friends,
I hope everyone enjoyed spring break. We are back in full action as a PTA. It's been over two years since we had full approval on in-person events, and we are so ready to do all we set out to.
This week is 5th Grade Camp at Boggess and our PTA parents are excited to help make it a memorable one. Camp will take place at Boggess from Wednesday through Friday during school time. Our teachers and staff have fun plans for the students.
Boggess STEM lab is happening next week! PTA is hosting a four day S.T.E.A.M Lab event for our students during school hours. Students will explore several stations of activities covering science, coding, math, art and engineering along with their class. More details below.
Our PTA Election meeting will be next week, Thursday, March 24th, 2022 @ 5:30pm, see Zoom Link and details below. The Elections Committee has met again and slated the positions for our Executive Board for 2022-2023. Anyone is welcome to run from floor for any of those positions. We also have several Chair positions open. Scroll down to see the slated nominees for next year's board. We hope you can join the meeting!

The Healthy Habits Challenge worked out wonderfully once again. Thank you to Coach White and Coach G., who motivate our kids to be their best and challenge themselves to make healthy life choices. Thank you to Simi Sandhu, VP of Volunteers, for chairing the Healthy Habits program and shopping for the prizes our students received. PTA was able to provide a variety of sports equipment prizes for the challenge winners and some fun toy items totaling over 180 pieces in prize items!
PTA was also able to support our first graders with some new phonics books. Thanks to all our PTA supporters!
We hope to see more of our amazing volunteers at upcoming events as well as our Boggess students and families.
Have a great week!
