A HUGE thank you to everyone who has joined or renewed your membership 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 THIS SUNDAY 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

  • 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 28th shows that Rogers PTA has signed up 531 total members! This includes 267 members 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 TWO DAYS LEFT! We are doing GREAT 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)
