Impact: Discover the Difference Your PTA Makes
Grants to Support RGMS
Each year, we fund initiatives that enhance our student’s education, including:
School Supplies for each classroom – new this year
Teacher Grants – all teachers have an allocation
Sun School Program
School Improvements/Beautification
Student Leadership – seed money to stock the Ka-Ching store and launch fundraising initiatives
Committee Work:
RGMS Building Safety
We work with the district to improve building safety and health at RGMS. Air purifiers are now installed in every classroom, and we’re working with the district on additional safety upgrades to maintain a healthy, secure learning environment for students and staff.
Equity
We are working this year to engage with other elementary and middle schools in the Wells cluster as well as with the Wells Community Equity Council who “seek to create a school culture that is inclusive, informed, equitable, and safe and who will be available to support Wells students, staff, and families.”
To this end we are working with Anthony Guzman – the SUN school coordinator for RGMS to help see how the PTA can support the SUN school program, build equity within our community and support PPS’s Racial Equity and Social Justice efforts. If you are interested in engaging in this area please let us know!
Community Events
We host the annual Back to School Night at Stephens Creek and other community building events to build connections at RGMS.
Advocacy
We work with Oregon PTA on initiatives, advocate for RGMs with our state and local law makers, etc.
Annual Student Dance
We plan the annual dance, which is coming up on Spring 27—a fun night of music, friends, and school spirit. Stay tuned for details, and if you’d like to help plan the event, please contact Kirsten Carr at president@rgmspta.org.
