Materials from last week's PTA meeting
Volunteers Needed for Holiday Tree Sale
The Ross PTA needs volunteers to help with the Holiday Tree Sale, starting the weekend after Thanksgiving. Jobs include: setting up pricing, creating communication materials, and organizing actual sale/delivery of trees.
Discounted DC United Tickets
In place of a fall membership drive, the PTA is inviting our school community to Fall for Ross.
Visit our webpage to take the pledge, make a donation, and sign up to volunteer!
Progress to Goals:
- 34% to our goal of raising $50,000 (~$300 per student)
- 20% to our goal of engagement from all Ross families
Why support the PTA? Because each year the Ross PTA needs to raise more than $150,000 to offset school operating costs, enabling Principal Searl to use school funds to hire additional teaching staff not budgeted for by DCPS. Learn more about the Ross PTA here.
