SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2021

Membership Drive


By joining Rosa Parks PTSA, you become part of an incredible all-volunteer organization making a difference in the lives of each of our Pumas. Rosa Parks PTSA works every day to provide resources, funding, programs, and educational enrichment for every student. 

When you join Rosa Parks PTSA, you also become part of a national advocacy organization. The more people who support the organization by becoming members, the more weight PTA has at the state and national level to lobby lawmakers for programs that benefit schools and children. It’s not only about how much we can do for our PTSA but the bigger picture.


Our membership goal for this year is 100% membership, including teachers and staff!

 We are offering reduced-price annual membership dues until September 30th: 

  • $15 individual membership
  • $25 family membership 
  • $12 staff and teachers.


Win a classroom surprise for your Student!


  • - The first 3 classes to reach 100% membership by September 30th will receive a classroom surprise and a designated VIP parking spot for their teacher. 
  • - All the classes that reach 100% membership by September 30th will receive a Puma Surprise visit.

Every member will receive a customizable puma sticker to label their favorite school accessory! (1 sticker for individual membership, 2 stickers for a family membership, while supplies last). 

*Rosa Parks PTSA offers full membership subsidies to families for whom membership dues are a financial hardship at this time. For more info visit https://www.rosaparksptsa.org/membership_faq
