Thank you to everyone who has joined the PTSA already this year!  We welcome and encourage anyone who hasn’t yet joined to join and be part of the academic booster organization! The PTSA strives to help all students and staff succeed.  Membership is only $10 for the first adult member, $5 for additional adult members, student members and staff members.  A bargain!  And, any additional Bulldog Bankroll donation is tax deductible, as the PTSA is an IRS recognized 501(c) (3) organization. The membership form can be found at PTSA Membership Form   Please be part of the impact and become a member today.  Thank you.

Finally, we are beginning to plan for next year’s PTSA board and committee positions.  Open will be (though not limited to): President, 1st Vice President, Secretary, Bulldog BBQ Co-Coordinator, and Silent Auction Chair/Co-Chair.  If you are interested in learning more about any position, please contact Cathy Pisarcik

Thank you to Hari Reddy Chadeva for volunteering to be next year’s Practice SAT/ACT chair!
