Week 35 - May 5 - PTA Newsletter

Dear Sulphur Springs Parents and Guardians,


Thank you to everyone who participated in last week’s Teacher and Staff Appreciation events.  Our campus was really filled with love and recognition for those who do so much all year long for each of our students.

Speaking of recognition, our PTA Volunteer Recognition luncheon is fast-approaching. We hope you will join us on Tuesday, May 14, at Toppers on Soledad Canyon Rd.  We will be having lunch at 11:15am, presenting awards to our amazing volunteers, and conducting our last PTA association meeting of the year.  Come meet next year’s PTA leaders and hear their plans for major events. We look forward to seeing all of you there!

Remember also, this Friday is our Boots and Beauties Daughter Dance – May 10, 5:30pm in the MPR.  We will have a DJ spinning your favorite tunes and leading the kids in some great games.  There will be a photo booth to capture your best memories.  And we’ll be providing tasty food – all for the low suggested-donation price of $20 per person.  Buy your tickets now – the deadline is Monday, May 6, so we can plan appropriately for food!

Sulphur Springs’ Got Talent, our annual variety show, also has a couple of announcements. 

Winners will be contacted by Rose regarding the delivery of their prize.  If you would like to contact Rose Carradine McGee, she can be texted at 661-644-7779.

Rose and Gary would like to again give a huge thank you to the Sulphur Springs’ Got Talent cast, crew, and families.  The show sold out both nights and may just be our best yet.
