PTA Updates

We need your help to make these events a success!

The annual Ross Tree Sale & Holiday Festival are important fundraising events for Ross and fun, festive community-building activities for our school, Ross families, and our neighbors! But we need help from the entire Ross community to make them happen.

When: Weekends of Nov 26-27 and Dec 3-4

Where: On the Ross field and playground

How You can Help:

• Sign up to volunteer here! Volunteers are needed to sell trees onsite and/or deliver trees, during 2-3 hour shifts. Kids can play on the playground during shifts.

• Buy your tree or wreath from Ross! Pre-order by Nov 25th for a discount.

• Share this link and the flyer attached below to spread the word among local friends, family, and neighbors!

Questions? Email PTApresident@rosselementary.org.

As we enter the holiday season, the PTA wanted to give the Ross community an opportunity to give thanks to the teachers and staff who make sure our school is a safe, welcoming, and vibrant place to learn. There are a few different ways you can get involved:

• On Tues, Nov. 22, the PTA will sponsor a breakfast buffet. Please sign up here to contribute a delicious treat or help with set up or clean up.

• We also have a community e-card that will be delivered to the teachers and staff that day. Click here to leave a note, photo or video of thanks for all they do.

Questions? Feel free to reach out to Alison Brody at brody.alison@gmail.com. Thanks!

Congrats to the Ross Runs 4 MK team, who ran in Miriam's Kitchen's annual Run 4 MK race last weekend and raised over $1,100 to support MK's mission to help end chronic and veteran homelessness in DC!

The Ross Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) will meet on Tues, Nov 29 at 5 pm. Agenda topics include: Ross’s enrollment projections, class sizes, and the staffing model for the next school year. You can join the meeting (at that time) using this link.
