PTA is back with the weekly News for all your Rogers info needs! To get these communications sent directly to your email please self-subscribe at this link.
First Day of School in Pictures! Go Mustangs!
Rogers PTA Membership Drive is NOW thru OCTOBER 30th! A HUGE thank you to everyone who has joined or renewed your membership and/or purchased sweatshirts or PE uniforms with the PTA so far this year.
As mentioned at TCB, PTA is able to offer a few incentives for joining PTA during our Membership Drive this year!
JOIN PTA BY OCTOBER 30, 2021 and Receive Great Incentives!
- Any student who joins Rogers PTA or returns any PTA membership(s) will receive one (1) entry into a dedicated opportunity drawing for a $50 gift card to a major retailer (Amazon, Target etc. – more info coming soon!). One entry limit per student
- Any student who joins/returns (4) or more memberships will receive one (1) entry into a dedicated opportunity drawing for a “front of the line” pass good for the cafeteria lunch lines daily AND all Rogers student activity days for the entire 2021-2022 school year! One entry limit per student
- Any 8th Grade student who joins Rogers PTA or returns any PTA membership(s), will receive one (1) entry into a dedicated opportunity drawing for four (4) reserved front row seats at 8th Grade Promotion. One entry limit per student
- PTA thrives on several business partnerships that offer member discounts and benefits, including Hertz, Farm Fresh to You and Tick Talk. Go to http://www.capta.org for more information.
PTA’s goal for membership is one membership per student. Rogers currently has an enrollment of around 850 students. The count as of September 2nd shows that Rogers PTA has enrolled 314 total members! This includes 94 online members via TOTEM, PTA’s online membership portal. We are currently at almost 40 percent of our goal. We are doing great – in fact, we have already far surpassed our 2020-21 membership count! – but we have some more work to do!
Please remember that memberships must be renewed each year while at Rogers. Memberships are $10/member (new or renewal). Donations to Rogers PTA are also accepted throughout the year.
(TOTEM convenience processing fee applies)
For more information about PTA membership or donating, including where your PTA funds go to support our students and staff, please go here.
