houston we have a problem meme PTA membershipPTA Membership Drive UPDATE “Houston, we have a problem.” Rogers PTA membership count is well below where we are typically at for the year. Covid has prevented PTA from holding in-person membership sign-ups this year, and it’s catching up with us. A strong, collective PTA annual membership helps to showcase a unified support for our school – ALL of our students, teachers, and staff. For comparison, we strive for a 1:1 membership-to-student ratio (900-1000 count), and right now we are only about 25% the level of our usual, annual membership.
Just like the Apollo 13 mission, this school year has been anything but typical… but we are still hoping we can reach our usual/average membership count of 900+ members. For just $10, your membership tells Rogers students, teachers, & staff that you support them and their efforts in educating our students.
Time for a relaunch… join or renew with Rogers PTA online NOW at TOTEM. Parents, grandparents, students, teachers, staff, neighbors, community members and business owners, and anyone & everyone else who wants to join our crew – all are welcome! Please share the Rogers PTA TOTEM link and help spread the word about this safe & secure membership tool.
We hope to be reunited in person with you all soon… until then, be well & stay safe. Go Mustangs!
