WELCOME!PTSA Meeting & Potluck
City Open House
We WELCOME, APPRECIATE, and ENCOURAGE your membership in our PTSA.
The City PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) exists to further family-teacher-student relationships and build a cohesive school community that can support growth and learning opportunities for our teachers and our students.
Each year our PTSA raises money to help foster the academic and extra-curricular activities of our students. We also contribute to our teachers through parent involvement and a yearly monetary allocation that can be used for much needed items including extra school supplies, basic classroom needs, and field trips.

Meetings take place the 3rd Wednesday of every month during the school year.
Meetings will start promptly at 6:00 pm and are listed on the website.

A lot of stuff happens at City. This is how we help the school pay for it.
2 things in life are certain…
In theory, this should say $0.00, or be a little in the negative, but we’ve never run the chili cook-off before. So, just in case it’s a flop…we’ll wait to spend that money until we have it. And we will tell you as soon as we know how we’d like to spend it. Or…better yet…YOU can tell us how you’d like to see it spent!
We are here to support our school… Our communication & e-mails aren’t meant to annoy…
please be patient with us as we try to keep you informed and involved. If you truly want to be kept in the dark, just let us know and we will take your e-mail off our list.
You don’t have to be a member to help us! You don’t even have to help us…you and your child can just
enjoy the fruits of our labor and say thank you. If you would like to see us make a change, please SPEAK
UP! Join us at meetings this year and be part of the action!
ENJOY THE SCHOOL YEAR!
