August Update

The school year is upon us and we have big plans!

​

Hello Sam Hughes CREW! Thanks so much for subscribing to the PTA newsletter and welcome to a new year at Sam Hughes Elementary! We are so happy you are here.

 

We are a volunteer-run group, led by the Sam Hughes PTA Board and many other parents and teachers who chair various PTA committees and groups. Our PTA funds a huge variety of school activities and academics, including literacy, arts and ecology programs, after school sports and clubs, field trips, teacher stipends, CREW t-shirts for every student, teacher appreciation events and much more. In order to provide this support, we host a handful of fundraisers throughout the year and rely on volunteer and financial support from the amazing parents, families, teachers, staff and community members to make it all happen.

 

And... we always need more folks to get involved! So, here are a few ideas to get you started this year:

 

Attend: Join us for our annual Meet, Greet, and Eat! The first PTA meeting of the year is Thursday, September 3rd at 6pm in the cafeteria and we provide dinner. Learn more about what PTA does, how you can get involved, and If you're ready to join, bring your cash, card, or check to pay your member dues (or pay online in advance!).

 

Volunteer: Consider what you might like to help out with this year and sign up to volunteer for a couple different committees or events (then, ask another parent to join you!). There are opportunities for every level of commitment - from just an hour or two, to leading a committee, and everything in between. Check out what we need help with plus fill out our volunteer interest form here!

 

Join: Become a PTA member! Having active members each year keeps us in good standing with the AZPTA.

 

Share: Spread the word! Encourage other parents to sign up for this newsletter and become members. (Note: the newsletter is for anyone interested, and you do not have to be a paying member to subscribe).

 

Socialize: Meet other school families, chat with PTA members and teachers, and celebrate the new school year at our annual PTA pancake breakfast, Saturday August 29th, 9:00-10:30am, in the cafeteria. If you want to help set up or clean up afterward, please let us know.

 

Our calendar of events for the year is attached. Check it out and we'll send more information as each event approaches. In the meantime if you have any questions, you can reach out to Samhughespta@gmail.com.

 

Thank you so much for your support! We look forward to seeing you soon!
