PTA Reminders

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our Fall for Ross fundraising drive -- we're 90% of the way to our goal of raising $50,000! We are soooo close to the finish line!

If no class reaches 100% participation by midnight tomorrow night, then the class with the highest participation rate (by percentage) will win an extra recess! (Participation is measured as the percentage of families from that class that have made a monetary donation of any amount through the Fall for Ross drive.) Below are the latest standings.

Fall for Ross Participation by Class:

• Kind Corgis (PK4) - 75%
• Amazing Alicorns (K-Eickmeyer) - 67%
• Cheerful Cheetahs (2nd) - 63%
• Excellent Eagles (1st) - 60%
• Friendly Falcons (3rd) - 60%
• Joyful Jellyfish (4th) - 60%
• Champion Cheetahs (K-Hailemicael) - 38%
• Divine Dolphins (5th) - 22%

We ask all Ross families to consider giving at least $600 ($50/month) to help the PTA continue to deliver strong programs in support of Ross and our community. If $600 isn't possible for your family, please contribute what you can. Everything helps!

Does your employer match your charitable donations? If so, you could double your impact at Ross. Check here to see if your employer has a matching program!

St. Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Church is collecting Halloween candy to donate to children in Ukraine. We have a donation box set up by Officer Woodley's desk for Ross students who would like to contribute candy. We've collected over 12 lbs of candy so far!! Please get any last donations in by tomorrow!

The mission of the Ross PTA is to support the education of all Ross students, to support Ross faculty and staff, to foster relationships among parents, staff and community members, and to assist faculty and staff to provide a safe and nurturing environment where all students, families, and faculty can thrive and grow.
