It has been a busy first couple of weeks of school! I hope that you and your kiddos are settling into the new school year. I would like to share the PTA Presentation from Back to School Night last week.  The presentation is linked below. Here is a summary of what we discussed.

2024-25 Recap of fundraising and expenses
Highlight: PTA helps fund our paraprofessional team. This support also makes it possible for Ralston to have full time AMP teachers. This sets us apart from other schools in the district

2025-26 Fundraising Goals
Our goal is to raise about $500 per student! This may seem like a lot, but we raised about $440 per student last year!
