PTA COMMUNITY OUTREACH - As we all have seen and heard, our fellow Texans in the Houston area are in great need of our help due to Hurricane Harvey. Renner PTA in conjunction with the Renner Staff will be coordinating, gathering and transporting supplies to several foundations. We have a former Renner teacher who lives in the Houston area. Her neighborhood/ town has been directly impacted by the flooding. We have a U-Haul set up to send specific cleaning/repair supplies to her neighborhood. A lot of the families have small children so we are also looking to help to provide baby supplies (see the list below). Baby Products:
Repair Supplies:
We will be collecting supplies throughout the month of September in the rotunda and as the supplies arrive, we will divide the supplies between the various foundations. Please see the attached file for an accumulative list of needed supplies. Hurricane Harvey Relief Drive
Did you know Renner has about 1200 students, and 100% of the faculty belong to PTA, but only 50% of Renner families have joined?! Renner teachers are that committed to your children, and if they are, shouldn’t you be too? We challenge YOU to be a part of your child’s school comm-YOU-nity and join today on the Renner Membership Toolkit (MTK) under rennerpta.membershiptoolkit.com. Membership costs only $25 for a 2-adult, or $20 for a single adult membership for the entire school year.
Potential members frequently ask, “What does PTA really do, and what does my money pay for?†Here are some examples of all the things your $20-25 pays for:
Right now, we ONLY need 100 more families to join to get to last year’s total number of members, and to win the “Early Bird Achievement Award. If you have any questions, contact Karen Ricketts, Renner V.P. - Membership at membership@rennerpta.org.
 For EducationIt’s easy to find Box Tops on hundreds of products you know and love. Instead of throwing away the box, clip Box Tops from your favorite products and turn them in to Renner today! Each coupon is worth 10 cents and it adds up fast. Our goal is to raise $1,000. We would like to buy prizes for students who win S.T.R.O.N.G. tickets (ask your child what this is--they should know) and for teachers (just for being the superstars they are). Make sure the coupon has not expired, put them in a sandwich baggie, and have your child drop them in the collection box outside the front office in the rotunda. It’s an easy, no-cost way to support Renner students and teachers! Lori Rough, ESL teacher Teachers Treats!
