PTA News for Friday 10/1/2021

Posted on by

Hello Mustangs! Happy October! We hope everyone had a wonderful week! PTA is back with the weekly News for all your Rogers info needs! To get these communications sent directly to your email please self-subscribe at this link.

This is the logo for Rogers Middle School Long Beach CA LBUSDRogers PTA Membership Drive is NOW thru OCTOBER 31st! A HUGE thank you to everyone who has joined or renewed your membership and/or purchased sweatshirts or PE uniforms with the PTA so far this year. Your support falls right in line with this year’s theme of “Connecting Families and Schools”… THANK YOU!

Halfway Mark of our Membership Drive TODAY! As a mid-drive follow-up, all students should have received a red flier and envelope from the PTA earlier this week. Please review this flier to learn more about PTA and what it does for ALL of our students and school! If you still have yet to become a member, now’s your chance! Or, maybe you have already joined but want to pass the flier onto a family member, neighbor, friend, or other Rogers fan… that’s great… all are welcome! Just fill out the envelope provided and submit $10/ea membership, cash or check (made out to “Rogers PTA”), or you can easily join PTA online now here with credit/debit card via Square.

PTA is able to offer a few incentives for joining PTA during our Membership Drive this year!

JOIN PTA BY 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
  • The 1st Period class with the highest percentage of memberships will receive an in-class party!
  • 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.

THERMOMETER GRAPHIC SHOWING APPROX 60 PERCENT OF GOAL REACHED AS OF 9-30-2021PTA’s goal for membership is one membership per student. Rogers currently has an enrollment of around 800 students. The count as of September 30th shows that Rogers PTA has signed up 467 total members! This includes 233 (half of the total) who have joined or renewed online via TOTEM, PTA’s online membership portal. We are currently almost 60 percent of the way to our drive’s goal at the halfway point! We are doing GREAT – in fact, we have already DOUBLED 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.

 (TOTEM convenience processing fee applies)
