A Message from Dr. Mitzner
Hope you have had a wonderful week. I wanted to highlight a few of ways you can support our school for the future or nominate a volunteer for the time they support our school.
This is located below as well but I wanted to highlight it in my message too!
Tays JH PTSA can only be successful with your help and involvement. How can you help? Consider becoming a PTSA Officer for the 23-24 school year. Please complete this form to express your interest. https://forms.gle/jemPBpJ8Uw7hz7Xx9
Honorary Lifetime Membership Award
It is time to make your nominations for the 2022-23 school year Honorary Lifetime Membership award. This honor can be bestowed to a parent volunteer you have worked with over the years, or a staff member who has gone above and beyond helping our school community. Please fill out the Google form link and be sure to include why you believe this individual deserves this recognition.
We are creating a new tradition here at Tays Jr High PTSA. This year's honorees will be announced at this year's Volunteer Brunch on April 21st so that the entire Titans PTSA and volunteer community can celebrate together. They will then be invited to attend the Founder's Day Dinner in 2024.
