PTA News for Friday 8/27/2021

Hello Mustang Family! We hope everyone has been enjoying their summer and has a fantastic few days more! Thanks to everyone who came out to TCB – we enjoyed meeting you!

PTA is back this week with more updates that hopefully help you to prepare for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. Remember the First Day of School is NEXT WEEK, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2021! 


This is the logo for Rogers Middle School Long Beach CA LBUSDRogers PTA Membership Drive is NOW thru OCTOBER 30th! A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out during TCB this past week and purchased sweatshirts, PE Uniforms, and/or renewed their PTA Membership! We see and appreciate you! 🙂

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.

Our goal for membership is one membership per student. Rogers currently has an enrollment of around 850 students. The count as of August 26th after TCB shows that Rogers PTA has enrolled 283 total members! This includes 85 online members via TOTEM, PTA’s online membership portal. We are currently at about 1/3 of our goal. We are doing great – in fact, we have already 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.

Image w heart apple and mustang on center w "Thank you rogers teachers!"Teacher Appreciation Week 5/3-5/7 Teacher Appreciation Week is here! Although we cannot all be together, that doesn’t mean we can’t show A LOT of love for our teachers. Due to Covid restrictions, we are unable to do our usual week long celebration of our teachers. PTA will, however, be providing special lunches on Monday and Wednesday, and then a special treat on Friday. If you would like to show your own special appreciation for your child’s teachers, I’m sure they would love a special note, gift card, treat, or even a thank you email.

Mustangs, let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate them!! 🙂
