BENNY PASSES THE MIC TO OUR PTA PRESIDENT
Bengals, let's gooooooo! We are looking forward to another fantastic school year at THE best school.
Please take a few moments to read this newsletter. It is chock full of info you'll want to know, including a back-to-school checklist and PTA event dates for the rest of the year.
Step #1 is a simple request: Please join PTA. We rely on YOU to support all of our students, teachers, and staff throughout the year. Memberships fund everything we do -- from free T-shirts and family events to after school programs, teacher appreciation, scholarships, and more. We are in this together!
Thanks,
