PTA MEMBERSHIP CLASS CONTEST
In today’s crazy uncertain world, together or apart, IVA, Hybrid or Traditional – one thing that is certain… We are all Vista Verde Vikings!
2020 has certainly made us realize that everything we thought we know, we really don’t know! Our one true strength and certainty comes from community and togetherness. The Vista Verde PTA has been working quietly on the side lines making sure that our teachers, students, and their families are all supported during these challenging times.
As we start off this year’s membership drive, please know how valuable and important each and every family is to our Viking Community. Your membership donations are used throughout the school year for multiple programs, supplies, and events. This year events are taking a different turn – but your donations are still being used for the greater good for our school. Lexia, ST Math, Raz Kids, Reflections Art Competition, Square 1 Art, AEFA programs, Math and Science Olympiads, 5th Grade Ladies Tea and Guys Night, 8th Grade promotion are just a few of the programs that the PTA facilitates.
Please consider joining our Vista Verde PTA – no matter the format of schooling you have chosen. We all reap the benefit of being a Vista Verde Viking. Membership is open to all members of our community, parents, teachers, grandparents, care givers, and friends. Consider sponsoring one of your teachers for the PTA too – and let’s come together as a community and support the Vista Verde PTA
Our traditional annual class competition will still take place from October 1 – 31. Top three classes with the most percentage of memberships by October 31st will win a pizza party – Covid Friendly Style with gift certificates.
