PTSA-SPONSORED
ICE CREAM SOCIAL!
JOIN OUR PTSA!
We are a PTSA….a Parent Teacher STUDENT Association.
That’s right!
Students can join our unit and have an active voice and vote in determining the direction and actions of our Association.
By becoming a member, you show support for your community middle school, provide funds to the PTSA to pay for valuable programs on campus, and make your voice heard by attending and voting at PTSA meetings. A large and active PTSA membership generally indicates a high level of parent and community involvement in the school. We have a GREAT unit! Last year, we were #1 in membership out of the 30+ schools that make up the Bayside Council of PTAs, and it has grown over 200% over the last five years!
SIGN UP ONLINE!
Sign up over our website. Go to KorematsuMiddleSchool.org.
Click on the yellow Donate button, which will take you to our PayPal link.
In the “Comments” field, enter “PTSA Membership” and we will do the rest!
VOLUNTEERS WANTED (AND APPRECIATED)!
We’ve got lots of ways for you to be involved in our school.
Read on, and if anything interests you, please contact us at korematsuptsa@gmail.com and we’ll tell you all about it!
Here are a few featured spots…..
Teacher Treat Day Coordinator
This is THE MOST LOVED teacher and staff activity at the school.
Coordinate the once-monthly teacher and staff luncheon.
The position involves publishing and maintaining a spreadsheet of food donations and volunteers.
It is helpful if you can be there (second Friday of most months), but this is not required.
Donations are plentiful and volunteers always help out.
We just need someone (or two) to head it up.
FUNDRAISING CHAIR
Head up the PTSA’s fundraising efforts.
Coordinate our Annual Giving campaign,
restaurant nights and assemble our Celebrate Korematsu team.
Have you worked on an auction for one of our elementary schools?
You are perfect!
Other projects can be added as well.
REFLECTIONS CHAIR
Reflections is PTA’s visual and performing arts contest.
The Reflections chair assembles a team to promote the Reflections contest,
communicates rules and due dates, and works to coordinate the arts showcase.
This is a great opportunity to work with students and encourage and showcase their artistic creativity!

RECRUITING HOST FAMILIES FOR A TEACHER INTERN
West County Mandarin School (WCCUSD’s new Mandarin immersion school) is recruiting host families for a teacher intern coming from Taiwan this coming school year. Hosting an intern is a wonderful opportunity to create Mandarin learning at home! The host period is very flexible. You can choose eight weeks, half a year, or the whole school year! So if you are interested in hosting this teacher intern, have any questions, or if you know another family who would love to have a Mandarin-speaking young person stay with them, please email Dr. Eric Peterson, Principal at West County Mandarin School at epeterson@wccusd.net.
