PTA NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2023
WILL YOU BE MY STALLION-TINE?

WOW did Rancho Rosal families come out to show the love in January! Our short month was jam-packed and full of X-FACTOR Fun! Shortly after we arrived back at the Ranch from our Winter rest, the APEX coaches flooded our campus. They brought the energy, X-FACTOR motivational lessons, prizes and the idea of recognizing our own individual greatness.

Our two weeks of APEX fundraising finished with our FUN RUN on a blustery and cold day. But our Stallions ran their hearts out, and your support brought in over $40,000 for our PTA! Your generosity and help to spread the word is greatly appreciated and our community is always thankful. Kelley Fields took the lead on this endeavor, and her dedication and detail to this event proved to be above and beyond successful! Many thanks for Kelley and her team. 

Remember, successful fundraisers result in successful programs. Our PTA is happy to fund Read Across America, Ceramics with Grandma Judy, Honorary Service Awards, and year-round PE with the YMCA. Thank you for supporting our PTA fundraising efforts.

Honorary Service Awards

Each year, at Springtime, the Camarillo Council of PTA hosts the Honorary Service Awards ceremony. It is a wonderful opportunity to honor those special volunteers, teachers, staff, or businesses who have made a significant impact on your student or our school community. Please take a moment and think of someone you would like to nominate for their outstanding dedication to service. Find the Link below to the nomination form.

WANT TO SKIP THE FUNDRAISERS?

We understand that fundraisers can be overwhelming, but without this support our Stallions will miss out on so many enrichment programs. 

Sadly, todays school curriculum does not include many of the programs we grew up loving. PE is once a week -  coached by the YMCA and paid for by the PTA. Art and Ceramics are typically provided by an outside organization and paid for by the PTA. Science Fair, Field Trips, the School Library, Playground Equipment, Classroom manipulatives, specific supplies and some class reading books are also paid for by the PTA. We also support most Assemblies, after-school Family Events and Teacher Appreciation Week Events. 

This is just a short list of how funding is used, so we appreciate all support from any fundraiser. We are also sensitive to the idea that you or your student do not want to sell cards, candy or ask for sponsors. Some students LOVE the challenge, the interaction and the prizes! If your family would prefer to make a direct donation, please do so via our website and the link below. You can find the DONATE option on our SHOP page.

Please note that any direct donations will not remove you from " A List" and your child will still receive fundraising materials. 

We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your help in keeping our Stallions enjoying all they do at the Ranch!
