For all information related to the Thoreau Middle School PTA, please visit our website.
Don’t worry, joining the PTA does not mean you HAVE to volunteer (though we’d love you to). PTA membership provides financial support for teacher and staff appreciation and creates a pool of people who can pitch in when help is needed. Many hands make light work!
The Thoreau PTA is proud to support the teachers and staff of Thoreau Middle School by organizing and funding appreciation events as well as coordinating supplemental programming like Crosstown Hoops and class gatherings.
Membership options:
Parent/Guardian: $15
Family: $25
Teacher: $10
Join today to support the Thoreau community as we all help our students navigate the wilds of Middle School!
Letter from the PTA President
Hi everyone!
Welcome to the first PTA newsletter! Sorry for the long delay as we got all the bugs out. My name is Adam Strawn and I have the honor of being your PTA President this year. This year we will be continuing our key goals of supporting Thoreau PTA Staff as they work tirelessly to support our students and organizing several fun events such as the big 7th and 8th Grade events, the Spelling Bee, Crosstown Hoops, and more! To be able to do all these great things, we need your support! Please join the Thoreau PTA, attend dining for dollar events like Big Buns on Oct 15, and donate when possible! We will use all your contributions to continue to support our community school. Middle school is such a short time jammed between 7 years of elementary and 4 years of high school, but let's make as many great memories as possible!
Best,
Adam Strawn
Dining for Dollars events are an easy way to support Thoreau and local businesses! The participating business donates a portion of their proceeds to Thoreau to help fund teacher support and student activities.
