Building our PTSA Board! Field Day Sign-Up & More as we Wrap Up 2021-'22

We need parent help in 2022-23

Dear QAE, 
Our school was established in 2010 by a passionate, dedicated and involved group of teachers, staff and parents. With the organizational foundation they put in place 12 years ago our school volunteer leadership has been able to glean stability, grounding and direction during these past three years of uncertainty. Your current PTSA is asking you to help make sure this stabilizing yet flexible effort continues for our future students, teachers and community. Becoming a board member of the PTSA is a great way to build community for our kids (and as a parent!), and to create enrichment opportunities for the whole school. We’d love to have you join us for the 2022-2023 school year!
Please note: All roles can be shared with a friend, and current board members are happy to talk to you further about what the roles entail. If you are at all curious, want to learn more, have questions or have ideas about our school. Please take the next step and connect. We need you to help build our Board! You can reach out in the following ways:

• Talk to any volunteer in our community like your class coordinator! 
• Directly email our PTSA Vice President, Sarah Kaiser at vp1@qaeptsa.org 
• Come to Caffeine with Janine this Monday morning at 7:55 a.m. in our school courtyard.
• Come to the General Membership Meeting this Wednesday, June 8th TEAMS at 5:45 p.m. Link in the school calendar.

Yearbooks! 

Every student will receive a 2021-22 yearbook courtesy of QAE PTSA. We're committed to purchasing one book per student and one per staff. To help cover the costs and ensure special mementos like this as well as student & community enriching events and general PTSA initiatives, can continue in the future, we're asking community to help cover the cost if you are able. Any and all donations help all students, families and staff. Pay what you can here.  ​
​Choose 'send', then enter an amount. Click 'add a note' and write 'yearbook'. Then continue to enter your payment information.  Thank you for your support!
