🚧 MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT UPDATE 🚧

Membership Toolkit (MTK) did an “update” that may have swapped contact information between parents (eg, Parent 1 became Parent 2, vice versa).  Please log into the Argonaut PTA website and confirm the contact information for the accounts so any volunteer signups reflect the correct parent information.  The update did not impact any registrations, donations, or purchases.  We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for working with us! We’re still learning too!

🚨 CRITICAL VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

Winter Ball still needs TWO co-chairs before 11/1, or we may need to cancel.  Email info@argonautpta.org  

🍽️  Inaugural ARGO DINES OUT 

Thanks to everyone who came out to support us on Monday 10/7 at Panda Express! Did you miss out this time? No worries, you’ll have another chance on Monday 11/4 at Mendocino Farms in the Pruneyard where 30% of sales will be donated back to the Argo PTA!

💪🏻 JUST (KEEP) DO-ING IT! 

We’ve reached 25% of our annual fundraising goal. Let’s get to 50% by December! 🚀🌡️ Remember, your tax-deductible $195 per student Just Do It donation funds programs and events for our Argo students. Donate here, then 2x or 3x your donation with company match!

🪔 DIWALI VIDEO

As part of the Diwali Assembly on 10/25, we will showcase a video compilation of Argo students explaining what Diwali means to them. If you would like your student(s) to be part of this presentation, have them dress in their festive best or get together with a group of Argo friends, and record a video of them explaining what Diwali means to them (in 5 words or less or they can simply wish 'Happy Diwali, Argonaut'). We encourage all students, regardless of their background, to participate in this celebration of Diwali. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and wishes for the festival! Upload the video to the Argo PTA Diwali Album by Friday, 10/11. If you have any questions, email diwali@argonautpta.org

Business Sponsorship and Volunteer Opportunities for SEF 5K Fun Run: Last year, over 700 participants showed up at the SEF 5K Fun Run to support SEF and SUSD schools.  If you own a business, this is a great way to promote your services or products! All sponsors are listed on our T-shirts and event banner. For more details on the sponsorship packages, please click here!  

 

Volunteers: It takes a village to make this event a success and we are asking for community involvement.  If you would like to help, please check out the volunteer opportunities (there are separate signup links for adult signup and student signup).
