Dear Ralston Families,

What a year it has been! With your help and generosity, the Ralston PTA has raised $135,000 during the 2025/26 school year. Wow! Because of these funds, we have been able to support our staff, boast the biggest para team in Jeffco, and to elevate our students and their experience. We have provided numerous resources in the classrooms and around the school. We have been able to fund special projects. We have shown our staff our appreciation and we have impacted our community outside of Ralston.

As we finish out the school year, I am wrapping up my role as the Ralston PTA President. It has been my sincere pleasure to represent Ralston’s beautiful families, lead our PTA team of dedicated parents, and to ultimately support this incredible Ralston Elementary School and its superstar staff who go above and beyond for our kiddos. I have learned so much from our team and from our families of what it means to give back, that generosity and support come in many forms, and together we make a difference.

I am proud to announce that Carly Dziubla has been elected to be our next PTA President starting the 2026/27 school year! Carly has already done so much for our school and our PTA. She has been our Secretary for the past three years and has revived the Spring Gala! Carly has impacted our school in many ways, including providing Flower Sales at school events, Fish Tank support, and making our drop off – pick up routine safer and smoother. Her passion for this school is immeasurable. Please help me welcome Carly into her new role!

As we look forward to the 2026/27 school year we would like to highlight some opportunities within the PTA team. Many of the parents on our team have current third graders and will be looking to pass the baton on their roles over the next couple years. The best way to fill these positions is to find someone to shadow these roles, making way for a smoother transition and building upon our past success. We are looking for parents interested in taking the lead on three of our biggest fundraisers – Run4Ralston, Fall Festival, and The Ralston Sleep-In. On the board, we are looking for support with our Treasury. Other roles we are looking to support are for Teacher/Staff Appreciation, Restaurant Night, and Yearbook. If you are interested, you can reach out to Carly at casweetcaroline@gmail.com

I hope that the last bit of the school year is joyful for you and your sweet children. I wish you all a fabulous summer break. Enjoy your time with your families. See you next year!

Sincerely,

Kate Myers – Ralston Elementary PTA President
