A Message from the PTA President
Dear Sangster Families,
Thank you to everyone who joined our January meeting. If you missed the meeting, the recording will be placed on our website in a few days.
Information is now available for the Science Fair that will take place from March 3–5, with a parents' night on March 4. Links to required information to participate can be found below.
We've now compiled a full list of positions for the PTA that we'll need to fill for the 2025–2026 school year. We must fill the Treasurer and Vice President role to have a PTA. The chair positions must be filled if we are to continue to hold the same great events next year. Descriptions are below. Please reach out if you're able to help support your PTA.
If you need anything, please reach out to sangsterptapresident@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Janessa Worrell
Sangster PTA President
