BENNY PASSES THE MIC TO OUR PTA PRESIDENT
Are you ready for a great year?! Together, we can make it even better. This newsletter is a must-read. It is packed with info you'll want to know, including a back-to-school checklist and PTA event dates to add to your calendar for the rest of the year.
We always start our newsletters with a couple of quick action items. Here's what you can do now to help us start the year right:
- 🙏 Invest in PTA. Your donations fund the fun - from family events and after school programs to student planners, teacher appreciation, scholarships, and student awards.
- 📅 Come to our first PTA meeting and WatchDOGS sign up events. More details below!
Thanks,
Bridgette Williams

Benny is looking for a good friend to share some of the events he attends! We have one parent "assistant," but would love one or two more energetic people willing to have fun and interact with the students. Some of the opportunities to appear with Benny include Grandparents Day, Veterans Day, assemblies, Fun Run, Fall Carnival, Friday morning carpool, and Book Fair & PJ Night. You are encouraged to add your own flair with different t-shirts or creative ideas. Please contact our PTA president with any additional questions or to apply for the role: president@boggesspta.org
Huge thank you to our fantastic crew of PTA board members and student volunteers who helped assemble the back-to-school info packets every Boggess family receives. Special shout out to our student helpers Noah Y., Hailey M., Blakely M., Adalynn B., Brandon W., Nathan W., Adair V., and Calla V. Many hands made quick work!
