SUBJECT: September 2022 - Let Fall Begin

Kicking off the School Year

PTA is already working hard to serve the Robertson community.

We have a full lineup of events and activities booked for the school year.  It's important that our students, staff, & families feel supported and appreciated. We promote Family Engagement, plan Educational Programs, and encourage Campus Enrichment which will benefit our entire community (and it feels like scoring the winning touchdown for us!) 

We know the importance of keeping in touch with our community throughout the year. Every month, our newsletter will highlight PTA happenings. Take a scroll and check out what we have already been up to as well as what is to come!

This Month in Pictures
First Up...Spirit Nights

The end of August come with rain clouds, but many Robertson families grabbed some ice cream during our first Spirit Night of the school year at Handel's.  

Spirit Nights help fund a fun program, vending machine books, or treats for staff (just to name a few). A BIG thank you to all who support the school during Spirit events.

The next Spirit Night (is actually 2 weeks long from Sept 9-18) and you can check out the details here.

..................It's a Monster of a Book Fair..................
There is no such thing as too many BOOKS!

We kicked off September with our annual Fall Book Fair.  The students LOVE shopping for new reads.  This year's theme was "it's a monster of a book fair."  PTA gets our interior decorator hats on and designs a magical place in the library for each book fair.

Our Annual Back2School Bash was a HUGE HIT!

We are a couple weeks into the school year, and that means it's time for some fun at the Back2School Bash!

We had a full line up of fun activities: bounce houses, a bungee trampoline, a petting zoo, Robertson Staff getting pied, and some amazing food trucks!  Even several of our valued sponsors stopped by and said hello!

We are always excited to see all the Robertson Families join us for our annual Back2School Bash!  So much fun was had by all.  Check it out!

This month, the class that has the most student members by the end of September will receive a POP CORN PARTY!
