Dear Golden Owl Community!
I wanted to take a moment to share my sincere appreciation for everyone who helped make this school year so special.
Thank you to our incredible teachers and staff for your dedication, kindness, and unwavering support of our students throughout the year. Your hard work has made a lasting impact on our children and our school community.
To our parents, thank you for the many ways you contribute—whether through PTA leadership and volunteer roles, helping at events, donating snacks and supplies, supporting classrooms, or simply showing up whenever help was needed. Your involvement makes a tremendous difference.
I would also like to recognize our PTA Executive Board, committee chairs, room parents, and countless volunteers who dedicated their time and talents to planning events and creating meaningful experiences for our students and families.
Because of your support, partnership, and generosity, we created wonderful memories and built an even stronger school community this year. Thank you for all that you do to make our Golden Owl family such a special place.
Here is a recap of what we were able to accomplish this year:
Community Building Events:
Parent & Principal Coffees, Vargas Movie Night, Two Book Fairs, Monthly Lunchtime activities (Hispanic Heritage, Lunar New Year, Springtime Activities, and more), Walk-a-Thon, Trunk or Treat, Winter Holiday Fair, Level Up Dance , Read-a-Thon, Family Reading Night, Vargas Campout, International Festival, Science and Math Night, Talent Show and Two Ice cream Socials.

All of this was only made possible through your contributions. Thank you for your donations, corporate match, fundraiser support, and volunteering.
If you are interested in helping out next year with any of our programs, email president@javargaspta.org. We are looking for additional volunteers to help grow our community and student enrichment.
While there will be many changes on campus next year, the PTA remains the same in our commitment to making next year the best yet in supporting our students and teachers.
This summer, we will be hosting some playdates for incoming kindergarten and new students, so please spread the word to incoming JA Vargas families.
We wish you a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer, and we look forward to seeing you all again in the new school year!
With Gratitude,
Sukie & the JA Vargas PTA
