Dear Pasadena Families, 

On behalf of our PTA, we would like to extend a warm welcome and celebrate our Panther Pride for the beginning of the school year.  We are excited to welcome back our families and meet our new families as we embark on this new school year together. I am honored to be your PTA President and together with the PTA executive board, we are hoping to make it a great year for our children!  We want to make sure we are connecting with all our families, so please "like" us on Facebook (Pasadena Fundamental Elementary PTA) where we will post information https://www.facebook.com/Pasadena-Fundamental-Elementary-PTA-104323478058431, listen for updates via Moody Messages and watch for information that comes home.

We are all here for one reason: our children, and we want to continue to grow and support our family relationships.  You’re probably wondering what it means—every child, one voice.  For Pasadena PTA, it means that the success of our students is our top priority.  To help achieve this goals, we need members like you!  You can visit our Memberhub Store to register to join Pasadena’s PTA for the school year.  https://pasadenapanthers.memberhub.com/store

I encourage each of you to not only become a member of our PTA, but to become INVOLVED with PTA.  Our PTA sponsors many activities and events that cannot be made possible without volunteers.  There are various committees to be a part of and programs to contribute towards. Our fundraisers at Pasadena are important as they drive and support our various programs at our school that are enjoyed by the students and staff. Last year, our fundraisers and sponsorships provided over $40,000 toward programs and school enhancements.  There is a role for everyone that wants to be involved (big, small, day, night, weekend, and/or weekday).  Our reputation at Pasadena speaks volumes and it is because of our parents' involvement, our PTA and our awesome staff.  

With your support and your contributions (ideas, time, talents), we can continue to ROAR about our continued success.  

I am looking forward to an exciting year expanding our Panther Pride for Pasadena. 

If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me: president.pasadenapta@gmail.com

Without your help, programs like these that benefit our students wouldn't be able to happen. If you know of a business that can help - please feel free to reach out to VP1.Pasadenapta@gmail.com or pass along the attached flier.
