Our outdoor PTA Association meting before the art gallery opened.

Our wonderful PTA board members set up an INCREDIBLE art gallery to display student's art work. The students have done FIVE different projects over the school year, learning about artists and exploring different materials. Arlington Superstars are so creative!

Thank you to our AIA docents and volunteers!

Complementary hors d'oeuvres served by the 5th graders!

And lovely sounds from Mr. Kamida and current and former students - the Arlingtones 🎶

Join us on 8/17 for an awesome afternoon at Arlington right before school starts!

***Bring your family onto campus before school starts! Find out your child's teacher and check out where your classroom is located***

We will have tables set up with the following info:

• PTA membership drive - the more members the more support for our kids + school unity!
• Spiritwear - see what we'll be selling in the fall for Arlington clothing sale
• Adventures in Art (AIA) - learn how to become a docent and teach art throughout the year
• Library - sign up to volunteer in our school library
  
• Room parent - sign up to be the room parent for your child's class, it's a special role!

When you join the PTA, you decide your level of volunteering, it is not required! You can participate in any or all PTA events, it's up to you! You are still showing support to our school.

If you take on a PTA board position at Arlington (there are about 20 of us) then you have the opportunity to organize a full event, attend the monthly board meetings, and vote on the proposed agenda.

At the board meetings, we first propose motions for events (assemblies, field trips, funds, fundraisers) and then we present the events to the association (the larger parent body at one of the performance nights). Once the motions go before the PTA association, they get final approval.

PTA membership will renew in July, as the new fiscal year begins 7/1/2026. Keep an eye out for your renewal email. I find it best to renew right away so it's done and out of the way. Membership will be $10 this year ($10 cash/check, $11 online in TOTEM with a processing fee).

Thanks,
