Join PTSA- JOIN PTSA to help raise funds to send our students to Sacramento: https://jointotem.com/ca/irvine/san-joaquin-creekside-ptsa
Help PTSA send 2 of our high school students and a chaperone to Sacramento to learn about advocating for educational issues. This is an annual PTSA Program when high schoolers from all across Irvine travel with Irvine executive leadership to our state capital for a day. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet other student leaders within our community and share concerns that are impacting our schools and students. If our goal is reached for this program, funds may be used for additional PTSA Programs.
