Greetings, Booker T. family! We're thrilled to announce our first sponsor for the new school year, The Haven Wellness Center! We look forward to continuing the PTSA's meaningful mission with your support in the new school year. The generous contributions of our sponsors are instrumental in advocating for all children, providing programs, and supporting the performing and visual arts. We invite you to explore the new sponsorship opportunities for the upcoming school year. Please get in touch with our VP of Fundraising, Leah Mora, with any questions. |
We also want to welcome our newest PTSA members who are rising Pegasi families. Thank you for joining the PTSA, and thank you to all who have already made the Pegasus Promise to volunteer four hours in the next school year! We invite all new families to join us at our final PTSA meeting of the year on Tuesday, May 14 at 6 p.m. in The Commons (school cafeteria). We'll share exciting announcements for the next school year and tips on how parents and students can prepare over the summer. If you didn't get your student's t-shirt at the family orientation, you can pick it up at the meeting. Read the Rising Family Newsletter to fill out the t-shirt order form. We hope to see you at there! |
