Here is what the Bolin PTA has organized for our students and community in the next few weeks and we hope that you join us! If you are new to our school, I encourage you to join the PTA and sign up to volunteer. There is no time commitment obligation when joining the PTA. However, volunteering at the school is a great place to meet your tribe and build your village. I invite you to keep up with our Bolin PTA Facebook Page or keep an eye on the Bolin PTA website for up to date information on what events are coming up and how you can help!
We hope to see you around!
Fall Book Fair
Our book fair is happening next week from September 9-13! It is one of our Blazers' favorite programs and as a PTA we love supporting our students learning budgeting skills, check out at the register and count money all while choosing age appropriate books. Some of our students already previewed the book fair on Friday, so be on the lookout for their wishlist.
As of right now, we are very low on volunteers for this event and without the help of our community we might not be able to have it open on the days and times that we have planned. Please consider volunteering your time to make this event a success. Here is the link to sign up. You must have a cleared background check to be able to volunteer on campus. You can get it done here.
Grandparents Breakfast
Did you know that Grandparents Day is Sunday, September 8th? Make sure to invite them to our grandparents' happening on September 10th & 11th from 7:25 to 8:00AM.
Please help us make sure we have enough food and RSVP below!
While at the grocery store this weekend, please consider picking up an extra thing or two to help us make Grandparents Breakfast a success. You can find a list here of our donation needs.
Room Parents Needed
Volunteering on campus can be so fun and rewarding. It can be exciting to get a sneak peak of our children's school life. Well, you are in luck because we are currently looking for room parents. If you are interested to know more about it, make sure to fill this form.
Class Shirts- LAST CALL!!
The order for class shirt is going out on Monday. Students are asked to wear those on field trips so they can easily be identified by the teachers. If you would like to purchase a class shirt, this is your last chance as we do not order extras.
We will be hosting our first meeting of the year on Thursday, September 12 at 6pm in the Bolin cafeteria. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Notice of Intent to vote to support the 2024 Allen ISD Bond.
Please note that the Bolin PTA membership will be invited to vote to support the Allen ISD 2024 Bond at the September 12 meeting.
WatchDOGS Pizza Party
We will be hosting our WatchDOGS (Dads Of Great Students) Pizza Party on September 12 at 6pm in the cafeteria. Bring the kids and come learn all about the WatchDOGS program.
WatchDOGS is a family and community engagement initiative. The main goal of the program is to provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.
Have you been interested in getting more involved at Bolin? Here is your chance! We have one spot available on our board as the Ways and Means chair. You would get to host fun spirit nights, fundraising, and more! If you are interested in signing up please reach out to Helene St-Pierre at president@bolinpta.com
Popcorn Fundraiser
There is only one week left for our popcorn fundraiser and the competition is on!
TOP GRADE will get to duct tape the principal to the wall
TOP CLASS will get a Bahama Bucks party
TOP EARNER FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL will get an ice cream sundae bar with a friend
There are incentives prizes starting with the sell of 1 bag of popcorn or you can skip the calories and donate straight to the PTA
It Is Not Too Late to Join the PTA
It is not too late to join the PTA and it involves ZERO time commitment. It does, however, help us bring programs to the school and community, help us support our incredible staff and most importantly it gives us a voice to advocate for our students especially with a legislative session right around the corner. Click here to join! Everyone can join!
We are starting something new this year! Students that are members of the PTA will get to participate in Members Only events as well as receive small items at most of our programs (Example: free concession item). Stay tuned!
