Monthly President's Message

Happy Mother's Day

This month is very busy for your PTSA leaders. We will not be having a PTSA membership meetings on the 12th. WSPTA convention runs the 18th-23 and Everett PTSA Council is having a very important meeting on the 12th that several of us need to attend. Instead we will be having a budget meeting with the BOD later in the month and present it to the membership on June 9th. If you have input that you would like the BOD to consider regarding the PTSA budget, please email it to me.

PTSA Promotes JHS Businesses

If you would like your business to be included, please send the business name and contact info and a short description of what services you provide to: JHSPTSApresident@gmail.com

When sending in your submission, please include how you are involved with JHS (i.e., name/grade of student if you are a parent). The JHS PTSA BOD will screen the submissions to verify that the business meets the accepted school content standards to be posted.

Staff Appreciation

Staff appreciation might look a little different this year, but we appreciate our staff now more than ever. We are not able to bring lunch to the staff each month, but we are still trying to spoil them a few times a month by dropping off baskets of snacks! Currently, about 50% of the staff are coming into school each day. If you’d like to make a donation of individually wrapped, store bought snacks for our staff please email our staff appreciation chair, Katie, jhsptsastafflunch@gmail.com. We have a small budget for this program, but with fundraising significantly lower this year, we are hopeful donations will keep the program running. Thank you for considering a donation, anything and everything is greatly appreciated.

Reflections

Congratulations to Alison Kim . Her photograph earned a 2nd place-Award of Merit at the state level of the contest.

If interested or if you have questions, please send an email to jhsptsapresident@gmail.com

We currently have a few open positions! These are important positions, some of which can be done from the comfort of your own home!
