📙 March Book of the Month
This month, we are reading She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton, a book about 13 incredible women who kept trying even when things were tough. This book teaches the importance of perseverance—continuing to try even when something is hard. Ask your child about the inspiring stories they have read and how they can practice perseverance in their own lives!
Homelink Activity:
Family Connection- Talk with your family about a time they had to keep trying to do something. Ask them how they felt and what helped them not give up.
Exciting Opportunity: Corporate Sponsorships
The A.J. Whittenberg Elementary PTA is thrilled to announce the kickoff of our Corporate Sponsorship Campaign! This initiative directly supports programs and events that enrich our students' educational experience, such as classroom grants, student field trips, and our Robot Ruckus community carnival.
Here’s how you can help:
- Be a Sponsor: We love supporting and celebrating our school community businesses! If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, please see the Corporate Sponsorship Form for details.
- Share the Sponsorship Form: Spread the word by sharing the Corporate Sponsorship Form with friends, family, or businesses who may be interested.
- Distribute Flyers: Share our sponsorship flyer and link while shopping at a local store or eating at your favorite restaurant.
- Submit Business Contacts: Do you know a business that might be interested? Share their contact information at vpfundraising.ajwpta@gmail.com, and we’ll take it from there!
Corporate sponsors receive fantastic opportunities for recognition within our school and the wider community. With your help, we can partner with local businesses to make a big difference in the lives of our students.
