PTA News – Friday, 1/13/23

happy-new-year-imagesWelcome back from a wet Winter Break!   Despite all the rain, we hope our Mustang families were able to maximize their time together and enjoy some rest!   

DON’T FORGET, this coming Monday is a Holiday (NO SCHOOL!) and the Martin Luther King Jr Day of Service.  Click here for some local opportunities.  


 

Calling all Volunteers!   What better way to start the new year than to volunteer your time in the PTA Nominating Committee?   We are looking for volunteers who will help assemble our PTA Board for 2023-2024.  We have some big shoes to fill and your input is invaluable.

VIPS ApplicationThe time commitment is low but the need is great!   If you are interested in joining this effort, please email Lydia with subject line: Nominating Committee, by Wednesday, January 25th.

Also, if you still plan on helping out with the following fun events like the 8th grade promotion, the Mustang Drive or the Star Wars Movie Night, please make sure you complete your VIP application here.

Average processing times are 3-4 weeks.  Additional information can be found here.

Did Someone Say More Pizza????   A Long Beach institution and community partner here on 2nd street, Domenico’s Italian Restaurant, has extended three opportunities to give back to our school.  If you missed out on our Dining for Dollars night this past Wednesday, you and your family can still enjoy lunch or dinner at Domenico’s (dine in or take out) and 25% of proceeds will go back to Rogers PTA.   The next dates for this incredible Dining for Dollars opportunity will be Wednesday, January 18 and Wednesday, January 25.

Make sure to bring a copy of the flyer when ordering.  Domenico’s is located 5339 2nd St, Long Beach, CA 90803 or call (562) 439-0261.

Third party services such as UberEats or GrubHub WILL NOT qualify towards this fundraiser.


image0Our Mustang Drive kickoff date has changed.

We will officially kickoff on Thursday, January 26 and culminate with a jam packed event featuring inflatables and games your Mustang will not want to miss.  We will also be hosting our next Association meeting on January 26 in the Multipurpose Room at 6:30 pm.  Come by to get all the necessary details of the Mustang Drive and more!

For the first time ever, we have an opportunity for families to get their name imprinted on our Mustang Drive t-shirts (see graphic). 

If you want a jumpstart on fundraising for your individual goals, consider becoming a Family Sponsor for $250 or a Corporate Sponsor for only $500!   There are a limited number of family and corporate sponsorships available.   To become a sponsor, click on the link here and donate under “Sponsorship Opportunities,” located on the bottom of the page.

Look out for more information in the next week ahead.
