Monthly President's Message

Hello Spring.

I'm excited for the changes coming with more of our high school students finally able to return on campus.

Spring also brings with it many celebrations including Holi-Festival of Colors, Passover, Easter, Ramadan, and Ridvan just to name a few. I'm looking forward to the sunnier and warmer days and watching all the new growth bloom.

Join us April 14th at 7pm via zoom for our April membership meeting. We will electing our officers for next year and hearing about the plans for the remainder of the year. Zoom Meeting ID: 878 5746 2325. Email JHSPTSAPresident@gmail.com for passcode

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.
