WELCOME!

Hello Senior Families!

I'd like to introduce myself as the Class of 2026 Committee Chair for the PTSA.  I will be working alongside a fantastic group of volunteers and with this year's Class Council to make your senior's year the best one ever!

My daughter Bonner is in the Dance Conservatory at Booker, and she's my second (and last!) child to graduate from high school.  I speak from experience when I tell you that your student's senior year can be A LOT. Not to worry, the Class Committee, the PTSA, School Administration and our wonderful ASP Counselors are all here to help you navigate this chaotically beautiful year!

My first piece of advice is to STAY CONNECTED.  Information will be coming at you from many sources, and I encourage you and your student to take the time to read everything that you can as it comes from school staff, the PTSA and myself. Information will be posted about deadlines, events and special senior opportunities on our Class of 2026 Instagram (@btwhspva2026), Class of 2026 Facebook Page and via Remind (@btwco26).  Please be sure you are signed up to receive notifications from all of these valuable sources of information!  The Class of 2026 page on our PTSA Website will remain the hub of information for all things Senior Year, so be sure to bookmark this page and check back often for updates.

If you are in need of information that is not readily available at any of the sites listed above, please feel free to contact me via e-mail at btwhspva2026@gmail.com, and I will be happy to get you pointed in the right direction.

I am so very excited to get to know all of these accomplished seniors and help ensure that they have the most meaningful and special year!  Fly High Pegasi!

Best,

Kathy Ruff
Committee Chair, Class of 2026
