BENNY PASSES THE MIC TO OUR PTA PRESIDENT
I can't believe it's December already! We are getting ready for classroom Winter Parties - more details below. Here are two more dates you don't want to miss this month:
- 🔬 Put your thinking caps on and get ready for STEAM Night on December 7 in the Boggess Gym and Cafeteria.
- 🍗 Eat at Raising Cane's before or after STEAM Night, and Boggess PTA raises money. Tell the cashier you're with Boggess!
I also want to thank the entire staff at Boggess for their support. We received the Golden Apple Award from Texas PTA because ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of our faculty are PTA members. We are incredibly lucky to have the absolute best teachers showing up for our students!
Thanks,
Sylvia Roy

You can contribute by signing up to donate something off our Sign Up Genius list, which will be shared soon in the Facebook grade level groups. We appreciate each and every parent's contribution! All donations will be accepted in the classrooms December 18-19. Thank you!
