Welcome to the New School Year!
Dear Arroyo Vista Wildcat Families,
The AV Parent Teacher Association (PTA) would like to welcome you all to the 2022-23 school year! We are looking forward to our beloved traditions and programs–such as Family Movie Night, Family Science Night, AV Gives Back, and the Jog-a-Thon fundraiser. Our plan for the year includes a great balance of educational enrichment programs, community building events, community service events, and fundraisers; and our strategy for success relies on close collaboration with families, parent volunteers, our amazing teachers, and our exceptional principal. I am confident that AV PTA will rise to the challenge of upholding both our stated mission, “supporting teachers, parents, and children,” and that of the National PTA, “one child, one voice.” We will keep the AV spirit alive and ensure that ALL feel included, supported and welcomed in our community.
We are asking EVERY FAMILY to please visit ptav.org/fall by Wednesday, August 17th. The three classes with the most Fall Forms completed will get a Popsicle party for the entire class! On these forms, you will have the opportunity to:
- Donate to our “NO SWEAT” fundraiser. In lieu of traditional fundraisers, we are asking each family to participate in our “No Sweat” fundraiser. This is a one-time $150 tax-deductible donation (suggested amount, although all donations are appreciated). Do you want to know where your fall donations are going and how they are being used?
- Volunteer! Whether you can come to school or work behind the scenes, we need your HELP! There is a job to fit everyone’s schedule and lifestyle. Check out our volunteer opportunities HERE.
- Join our PTA. Your $8 membership donation will help to fund our PTA as well as to support efforts at the city and state levels. Every PTA membership includes access to our annual AV Student Directory.
- Subscribe to Weekly Wildcat E-Newsletter!
We encourage you to get involved in our PTA! Thanks for all your support. We look forward to a great year ahead.
Erik Gammell, PTA President and Patti Urzua, Executive VP
Please email Erik or Patti any time with questions.
