Bryson MS PTSA Needs Parent Volunteers for Leadership Positions for 2019-2020

Attention current BMS 6th and 7th Grade Parents

Bryson Middle is in dire need of PTSA Board Members for next school year 2019-20.  The positions that are being vacated by parents of 8th graders must be filled in order to have our PTSA exist in our school They are President, Vice- President, Secretary, and Treasurer.  Think about this-- without a working PTSA next year, your child will not have a sponsored Spirit Week, they will not enjoy PTSA sponsored academic incentives each quarter.  Also, money may not be available to fund some field trips, or offer a fun day of "Chillin' on the Green", or sponsor other educational events through PTSA Staff Mini-Grants.

Please consider responding to this request. Your child will always remember their time in middle school and your personal involvement.

You may contact the school at 355-2100 if you are interested.
