We have an exciting event planned for our 2nd annual Tappan fall festival fundraiser, but are in need of many hands to help make this event run smoothly and safely. Please sign up for a one hour slot then enjoy the rest of the event with your family and students!

If you have a high school student who is in need of volunteer hours, this will also be a great opportunity for them to give back to their community!

Tappan would like to support our students who need supplies this winter with clothing and gift items from our Winter Giving program. If your family is in need of items this winter, please complete the following form. Please complete 1 form for each Tappan student you have. We will do our best to help meet the needs with generous donations from our Tappan and greater Ann Arbor community.

If you are a family that would like to help support another family, we will be developing a wish list of items requested that will be sent out at a later date. If you prefer, gift cards to Target, Amazon, Costco, or Meijer are greatly appreciated and can be used to fulfill wish list items.

A limited number of yearbooks are available each year. Pre-ordering now guarantees your child a copy.

Before ordering: Make sure you know the name of your child’s Advisory Teacher.

• Go to www.yearbookforever.com to purchase a yearbook with a credit card, debit card, or PayPal.

The middle school student store is seeking courageous, highly caffeinated adults to join our chaotic but charming crew. Do you possess a superhuman tolerance for tween angst and an uncanny ability to find the exact bag of Hot Cheetos a student "absolutely needs right now"?

• Supervise: Help students successfully complete a transaction without accidentally buying the entire inventory.

• Stock: Unbox, organize, and strategically place snacks so they are easily accessible to their future owners.

• Support: Provide guidance and encouragement as our student volunteers learn the ropes of retail. Be a beacon of calm in the storm of after-school snack time.

Monetary contributions to the PTSO help underwrite PTSO activities and reduce the amount of fundraising that is necessary to maintain our programs. Suggested donation is $60 per child, but we are grateful for any amount donated.
