A Warm Welcome Back to our Teachers & Staff
Teachers love fresh school supplies, too! Last week, before the school was buzzing with students, we put our PTA funds to work and set up a free "School Supplies Store" for our teachers & staff to help outfit their classrooms for the year.
As our teachers were "shopping", over 240 (!) students' school supply kits were received, organized and delivered to each of the 17 classrooms for the first day of school, thank you to all our volunteers and a big shoutout to Bingham moms Amy Marcicki & Valerie Ericson for coordinating this important event!
STOCK THE LOUNGE: Through Thursday 9/3
It's not too late to help us support our teachers and staff with some refreshments to get them through these first busy weeks! These treats will provide some relief during room set-up, Curriculum Night, and all the fun that comes with welcoming back our students.
Too busy to shop? Check out our Venmo option and let the PTA shop for you!

Our PTA website (through the platform Membership Toolkit) features our PTA Store, our School Directory, event tickets, helpful links and so much more. If you have an existing account, your child's grade should be updated for the 2026-2027 school year, but don't forget to update your child's teacher.
Classroom Celebration Fund 🎉
Let's Prepare to Party! These funds make it possible for classrooms to enjoy four fun parties during the year: Halloween, Winter, Valentine's Day & the End-of-Year. They will directly support decor, crafts, prizes, games and snacks. We have a suggested donation of $15 per student, but we encourage any donation that fits best for your family.

BFFF (Bingham Farms Fun Fact) of the Week: The name "Bingham Farms" comes from the prominent Bingham family, who had a strong presence in the area starting around 1880 and owned a massive farm featuring an orchard with over 1,000 apple trees 🍎. Fitting for an elementary school!
