Rogers PTA Membership Drive Updates! Thank you to everyone who joined or renewed their Rogers PTA during our official Membership Drive and by the Incentive Deadline of October 31st!
This week, PTA was able to identify those students who qualified for the various membership drive incentives that were offered. We appreciate your effort and how you all really rallied for Rogers PTA during the drive!
We are happy to report that we had 547 new or renewing members during our official membership drive period, with 270 members joining or renewing via TOTEM online. The total to date is more than DOUBLE the amount of membership we had all last school year! THANK YOU for your support!
HAVE YOU JOINED? IT’S NOT TOO LATE! 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. Thank you for your consideration in helping us to meet our goals!
