PTA Update

Earlier this year, a PTA was formed at John Muir Elementary School, the first time in at least 50 years (and maybe ever!) there has been a PTA at our neighborhood school. Since then, working with members of HVNA and Hayes Valley Community Partners, several successful volunteer workdays and fundraisers have taken place. With tremendous help from the California PUC, determined neighbors and local merchants, the PTA is off to a great start supporting our kids.

Did you know that about 50% of the students at John Muir are Hispanic? Did you know that neighborhood volunteers, and others, have re-painted the interior of the school? Did you know that the kids at the school have participated in a Halloween poster contest, and with help from the PTA everyone participating received a gift or award? Did you know that teachers at the school need your help with supplies and other items in order for our kids to get the best possible education? Well, now you know!

You don’t have to be a parent to join the PTA, you just have to care about the kids and school in your neighborhood. Come to the next PTA meeting on December 7th at 4pm, at John Muir Elementary School, Page and Webster. Thank you for your support.
