PTA Membership Drive 2020/2021
Join the PTA for the 2020/2021 school year and stay connected to PGES! You can join online for $7.50 on MemberHub and also receive communications from the PTA. Please consider making a donation to the PGES PTA along with your membership.
Now more than ever our school needs the support of the PTA. PTA funding provides software for students to use during remote learning and cultural arts programs (even virtually!). Funding also supports grants to teachers for classroom support and materials they need. The PTA shows our appreciation by providing lunches and treats to help staff “feed their love of our students.” Please consider gifting the school a donation so we can continue to provide for our school, students and teachers. Check out the many great things the PGES PTA helped provide for our school in 2019/2020!
"The 4th Grade team would like to take this opportunity to thank the PTA for your amazing support throughout the school. The programs you support from the cultural arts, to digital programs, teacher planning days and materials for our classrooms are essential in making Pleasant Grove the dynamic learning environment it is. Over the last two years 4th grade classrooms are full of STEM materials that our students are able to use everyday because of the PTAs help in securing grant funds for those purchases. This year our subscription to Storyworks will be invaluable as we try to virtually connect our readers to quality text.
Thank you again for all you have done and continue to do to support all our PGES Flyers!"

Book Fair (Oct. 16th-Oct. 25th)
We are planning an in-person drive-thru book fair this year! Limited contact will allow book cases to be setup on the sidewalk along the carpool lane, families will stay in their cars while volunteers pull the books. We want a fun, safe event where we can get books into the hands of PGES students. There will also be an online option for families that prefer it.
The proceeds from our 2019-2020 Book Fair allowed us to purchase Scholastic Magazines (hard copy and online) for all K-5 classes in the 2020-2021 year! Ms. Bussell was also able to purchase $700 in new books for the school media center! We hope to continue doing this in the future and would love your help in volunteering and being involved at our book fair this year.
If you could please fill out this survey by September 25th, it will help us make scheduling decisions and determine if we have the volunteers to make the book fair a success!
