Tynes Weekly Updates

Tiger Families,

Our PTA Jogathon is officially underway, and this year’s theme is “Super Tynes Jogathon” ... a fun Super Mario–inspired adventure that fits perfectly with our schoolwide “Leveling Up” theme! Our Tigers will be running, cheering, and working together to power up our school community.

Our fundraising goal is $22,000, and thanks to the early support of our amazing families we’ve already raised $8,271! That’s a great start, but we still have 42 days left (until April 17) to reach our goal. We invite all families to consider making a donation and to share the fundraiser with family members, friends, and even local businesses who may want to support our students. Every contribution helps power up learning experiences, student activities, and programs that benefit all of our Tigers.

Please check the newsletter below for all the details on how to donate, including family contributions and business sponsorship opportunities. Thank you for helping our students level up and reach the finish line! 🎮🏃‍♂️🐯

Warmly,

Dr. Borgese

Please join us for "Lunch with a Lucky One" on Friday, March 13th.

We will host three separate lunches to accommodate parking and parents ability to spend time with each of their children.

Refer to the flier below for lunch times and where to enter. After the TK/Kindergarten lunch, we ask that you please exit the kinder gate and walk to the front gate for the next lunches.

Please stay in the lunch area at all times and not leave to other parts of the campus.

We ask that you do not sign your child out of school after their lunch and allow them to remain in class the rest of the day.

We look forward to a fun "Lunch with a Lucky One"!

Each year, Tynes PTA participates in the Reflections Art Contest with the rest of PYLUSD. Twenty-four PYLUSD entries moved up from the District level, and ONE was from Tynes!

Our Jog-a-thon officially kicked off today! Students attended a fun assembly and learned about this year’s prizes and how they can help raise funds for our school!

Goal: $22,000

We’re using DoJiggy again this year for easy online donations (cash and checks are welcome, too). Information on setting up your student’s fundraising page is coming home and included below.

There are:

• Prizes for fundraising milestones

• Awards for the top 3 fundraisers

• A NEW grand prize for the overall top fundraiser

• Class prizes for top-earning classes

Business Sponsorships – A Major Focus This Year

In addition to donations from family and friends, we’re placing a strong emphasis on growing our business sponsorships. Community sponsors make a huge impact and help us reach our goal faster.

You can help by:

• Becoming a sponsor if you own a business

• Asking your employer if they support local schools

• Connecting us with a local business owner you know

• Helping us reach out to businesses in the community

We have multiple sponsorship levels available, and sponsors receive recognition through event signage and school communications.

If you’re willing to help — even by reaching out to just one business — please let us know. Parent connections are incredibly powerful!
