Hello McSpedden Families!

I would like to first welcome back all returning McSpedden families and give a big WELCOME to all of our new families. My name is Prathima Marthala and I am honored to serve as your PTA President for the 2024-2025 school year. The McSpedden PTA is looking forward to making it another fantastic year with all of you!

WHAT IS THE PTA:

A volunteer group dedicated to supporting our school by providing additional resources to our students and staff.

Through your membership dues and generous donations, McSpedden’s PTA has funded:

curriculum improvements
educational enrichment programs
campus enhancements
teacher appreciation efforts

Because of you, McSpedden has awarded:

Golden Apple Award (100% staff membership)
Voice for Every Child Silver Award (50% of the school’s total enrollment)
Men are Really Super (MARS) Membership award (at least 50 male members)
MARS Involvement award (at least 1 male member serves on Board)
President's Challenge Award
School of Excellence 2021-2023

***Let’s do it again this year, McSpedden***

PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES:

Wondering what you can do as a PTA member? This year might look a little different but we still need all of your help. The PTA has several opportunities for you to participate and we can’t wait to have you!

Staffing events such as the book fair and winter carnival when on-campus events return
Serving on committees to help brainstorm on how to help our school virtually
Helping on campus if/when needed
Helping teachers as room parents with digital communication
If volunteering isn’t feasible, participation in fundraisers (Fun Run, Book Fair, Field Day, etc) and your membership donation are critical and help tremendously.

***Everyone can play an important role in making our PTA a success, even if it is just as simple as becoming a member***

MEMBERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION:

We will continue to use our membership toolkit website to help you stay connected. This site allows you to activate your membership and keeps you informed on all the great events that are happening at our school. This page is a work in progress and we hope to use it to its full potential. Please check it regularly to stay informed.

Our McSpedden Elementary PTA page on Facebook is another great way to get notifications and stay up to date...click the picture for the link

Lastly, THANK YOU for all you do to make our school an incredible place to learn. We are looking forward to working with all of you! Please let us know if we can answer any questions, assist with membership, or get you set up with a volunteer opportunity.

Sincerely,

Prathima Marthala
