PTA Membership Drive through 12/15

Did you know PTA memberships need to be renewed each school year?
Did you also know multiple adults can join the PTA in each household/family?

Joining the PTA for $5 is a great way to become aware of what's going on at Pinchbeck!


Pinchbeck will be hosting a PTA Membership Drive through 12/15/23. The classroom with the most PTA members will win a popsicle party! Each membership counts, so have grandma and grandpa join too. If you've already joined for this school year, that's great and your membership will count toward your student's classroom total. If you have more than one student, we will count a membership for each class. Memberships need to be submitted by 12/15 to be counted for the contest. Please reach out to your student's teacher, guidance counselor or membership@pinchbeckpta if the cost of joining is prohibitive. Click here to join now!


**PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENT'S GRADE AND TEACHER ARE UP TO DATE ON THE PTA WEBSITE SO THE CORRECT CLASSROOM GETS CREDIT** To do this, you need to have an account on the PTA website and update your student information. Click here to set up your account. While you're there, sign up for the newsletter so you can be up to date on all the PTA events at Pinchbeck.


Talent Show Auditions are coming January 17th and the show is February 28th! Make sure you've signed up and get practicing!

See the flyer for links to the Registration page and for the volunteer Sign up Genius! 


**As a reminder, students participating in the talent show are required to have at least one parent volunteer. Your support is needed and appreciated! 


Also, this year we’re hoping to find a few parents, teachers, and/or staff that has musical talent to play a few songs to open the show! Reach out to talentshow@pinchbeckpta.com if interested!
