Hello PTA Parent and Staff Members,
After a very successful school year for the Pelham Gardens Middle School PTA, the year is almost over.
With only a few weeks left, it is time for us to hold PTA elections for our school. We must elect current 6th and 7th grade parents to take the reigns of the PTA Executive Board for September.
Our current 6th and 7th grade PTA board members Cheyeanne Zelaya, Chaney Matos, Serena Rodriguez and Tahesha Perry are all running for re-elections of their respective seats of President, Secretary, 1st Vice-President and 2nd Vice-President. However any current 6th or 7th grade parent who wants to run for election to one of those seats, is more than welcome.
Our current 8th grade board member Venica Heath will be vacating the seat of Treasurer after June 30th. So, the seat of Treasurer needs a ready and willing successor for September. That could be you!
So, we are calling upon all 6th, 7th and 8th grade parents, and all staff members to attend the PTA elections on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 at 5:30pm to help us elect (or re-elect) our 2024-2025 Executive Board for the Pelham Gardens Middle School Parent-Teacher Association. Please register for the PTA Elections and End of Year Meeting now.
