Book Drive Opens Friday - Can You Volunteer?

Hot on the heels of the auction, the annual Mothers' and Fathers' Day Book Drive kicks off on Friday. We still need 10 volunteers to sign up for 2-hour shifts staffing tables in the neighborhood.


Why support the Book Drive? If you haven't heard, our kids love Ross. And PTA funding is essential to providing Ross teachers and staff with the supplies and support they need to create the BEST learning environment for our children. Help us continue to meet this need.


What You Can Do

To make this event a success, we need your help in two ways:

  1. Sign up to help at a book drive table this weekend. Children are welcome and encouraged to join!
  2. Donate $25 to purchase a library book in honor/memory of someone special to you.

This is the PTA's last fundraising event of the school year. Please help us make it a success!


Contact this year's committee chair, Charles Francis, with any questions about volunteering or other ideas at ccfrancis@aol.com.
