What is the PTSA doing this week?
We have been busy with planning and organizing the Second Street School Fall Festival. This is a free event offered to all SSS families. If you would like to volunteer to help, please email us at sssfrankfort@gmail.com.
Mark your calendars!
The Fall Festival is Saturday, Sept. 16, from 4 - 7 p.m., at Second Street School.
May the best door win!
Teachers have been invited to participate in a fall-themed, decorating contest of classroom doors. Decorations must be completed by noon on Friday, Sept. 8. SSS families can vote online for a favorite, and the winner will be announced at the Fall Festival.
Guardian & Student Membership
The PTSA is focused on growing membership and reaching all Second Street School families. Please be on the lookout for a PTSA flier in your student’s backpack with information on becoming a member and opportunities to support the PTSA. If you have yet to join the PTSA, it’s not too late! Complete the membership application and connect with us today.
Also, Student Leadership Chair Anthony Robinson will start recruiting students in 6th-8th grades to join the PTSA. If your middle school student is interested in becoming a member, please reach out to sssfrankfort@gmail.com. Student members will be involved in assisting with special events and activities and serving as a voice for the student body. Spirit week is just around the corner, and we need the help of students to execute a successful event.
Teacher Members
In order for the PTSA to be successful, we need the participation of SSS teachers. The involvement of these individuals is vital, and we sincerely hope that as many as possible will become members. If you are a SSS teacher and interested in joining the PTSA, please complete the membership application.
School Volunteers
Many of you should have received an email from VP of Programs Jill Stoltz regarding the next steps to becoming an approved volunteer for school events and activities. Upon approval, expect a classroom representative to reach out with information about upcoming opportunities.
Improving Communication
The PTSA is designed to deliver important information to families, teachers, and community members but also to receive feedback from these parties and serve as advocates. In addition to working towards the establishment of effective communication channels and spaces, we are identifying neighborhood representatives within our district to act as liaisons between the PTSA and those we serve. If you are interested in becoming a representative, please email us at sssfrankfort@gmail.com. Let’s work together to elevate voices!
Fundraising
Ask your friends and family to join in supporting these efforts!
Our most successful fundraising effort is through the Kroger Community Rewards Program, and the process to join is simple! All you need is a Kroger Shoppers Card to enroll.
Visit the Kroger Community Rewards website and follow the steps to link your Kroger Shoppers Card to our school. After enrolling, every time you shop at Kroger and use your card a small percentage of your purchases goes to support the Second Street School PTSA.
Sponsorships
Are you interested in becoming a PTSA sponsor? There are several sponsorship opportunities available, and we would love to hear from you. Sponsor donations, along with our Kroger Community Rewards, help to fund the PTSA committee work that supports our school. Please complete this form, and we will reach out with more information.
Apply to Volunteer
The PTSA oversees the volunteer program for Second Street School. Anyone wishing to serve as a volunteer must complete a screening process. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please email sssfrankfort@gmail.com
The next PTSA General Meeting is Nov. 14, 2023, at 6 p.m. Location TBD. Stay tuned!
