Hello Mustangs! We hope everyone had a wonderful week! Happy almost last days of October! 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.
EXTRA EXTRA! Rogers PTA Membership Drive ENDS in 10 DAYS ON OCTOBER 31st! 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. Your support falls right in line with this year’s theme of “Connecting Families and Schools”… THANK YOU!
A reminder that Rogers PTA is able to offer a few incentives for joining PTA during our Membership Drive this year!
JOIN PTA BY OCTOBER 31, 2021 and Receive Great Incentives!
- Any student who becomes a member (or returns a membership) will be entered into a drawing for a $50 AMC gift card. One entry limit per student
- Any student who returns four (4) or more memberships will be entered into a drawing for a “Front of the Line” pass to be used at lunch AND all Rogers student activity days for the entire 2021-2022 school year! One entry limit per student
- Any 8th Grade student who becomes a member (or returns a membership) will be entered into a drawing for 4 reserved front-row seats at 8th Grade Promotion! One entry limit per student
- The 1st Period class with the highest percentage of memberships will receive an in-class party!
- 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 800 students. The count as of October 21st shows that Rogers PTA has signed up 520 total members! This includes 256 who have joined or renewed online via TOTEM, PTA’s online membership portal. We are currently two-thirds of the way to our drive’s goal with just 10 DAYS LEFT! We are doing GREAT – in fact, we have already WAY MORE than DOUBLED our 2020-21 membership count! – but we still have more work to do and really REALLY could use your support to meet our goals!
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)
