The 8th Grade Committee Still Needs Your Support | The end-of-year party for all Rogers 8th Graders is scheduled for Tuesday, June 14th from 6-9 p.m. at the CSULB Student Union. Haven’t donated yet? We are looking for 20 more families to donate $25 by May 15th! You can link to the donation portal specifically for 8th Grade events at the PTA store by using the link here. Let’s make it a night to remember for ALL of our 8th Grade students!
A BIG Thank You to the 50+ families who have donated so far to date! To clarify, please note that this celebration is not the promotion ceremony but a special, additional party being planned for our 8th grade students to have a last “hurrah” together as a class. A suggested donation of $25 per 8th Grade student is requested to cover the costs of the event for ALL 8th graders – DONATE TODAY!
Want to help or have questions? Any 8th Grade parent or guardian interested in helping with the event planning or attending the next meeting to learn more should please email Danielle Van Divort at deesteinberg@yahoo.com (Subject: Rogers 8th Grade Event Planning; please include contact info and student name in your email to make sure you are added to the contact list!) 8th Grade Donation Link
