Happy Summer and Dates to Save

As the 2023-24 school year draws to a close, the PTSA Board would like to extend our warmest wishes to the QAE community for a safe and enjoyable summer.
 
Thank you to all those who have volunteered their time, expertise and passion to make this such a memorable year. The PTSA set out this year to offer as many opportunities as possible for our community to gather and build connections and we feel proud of what has been achieved and humbled by the enthusiasm and commitment from so many people in our community.
Thank you to Mr. Warren, our wonderful teachers and supporting staff for guiding and caring for our students.

Congratulations to all the students on their hard work, dedication and growth over the past school year and especially to the graduating 5th grade students. We wish you all the very best for the future.

Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you at one of the exciting upcoming events of the 2024-25 school year (see save the dates below)!

There are volunteer opportunities for everyone ranging from volunteering time on campus or at home, to serving in a role on the Board. We pride ourselves in making sure that everyone interested has the ability to impact our students’ lives.

Currently, the areas in which we most need assistance are: 

• Co-Volunteer Coordinator: Help recruit and assign volunteers for PTSA events such as community events, school field trips/outings, lunch & recess volunteers.
• Co-Enrichment Coordinator: Be part of the decision-making process for after school-programs and coordinating enrichment activities. Busy times for this role are before the start of each trimester for sign up and toward the end of each trimester when you will help guide next trimester’s classes. Trimesters start in September, January and April
• Join the Fundraising Team: Fundraising is critical to our mission, and the fundraising committee has a variety of needs. From planning event logistics and communications to identifying and reaching out to potential sponsors, there are many roles on the fundraising team. Join the team and choose a specific role that fits your availability and interest. 
• Safety Patrol Team: The QAE Safety Patrol consists of 4th and 5th Grade Students who assist all QAE students in getting onto the school grounds safely each morning and leaving the school grounds each afternoon. We hope to build a team of parents to help supervise and support our patrollers. Team members would be asked to be present for some Safety Patrol shifts, be it one morning a week or every afternoon after school. Any time commitment is welcome and appreciated. 
• Join the Communications Team: Our communications team is responsible for maintaining the PTSA website, reaching out to media regarding our school, posting on our social media accounts, and creating a monthly student-focused newsletter.

If you are interested in one of these, or any other, role please reach out to [email protected].
