Newsletter 1.0.2425 - August 30, 2024
A Message from the President

Welcome Back, Eagles Family! Can you believe we are finishing the third week of school and our third week of our Annual Membership and Giving Campaign

Donating to the PTA enriches the experience your child will have this year at Ashley Falls and becoming a PTA member is the best way to support the teachers and staff on this campus. 

We hope you will join us in helping make this year epic! 

In the hopes of keeping as many families in the the loop, this newsletter will come out electronically twice a month for PTA members. There is still time to join and you can opt-out if you feel it is too much for your inbox. Please also follow us on social media for the most up to date information!

No matter how you get your information, I hope to see you at our next event or around campus!

Darlene Lee 

Ashley Falls 2024-25 PTA President

Be Your Kid's Biggest Fan!

The goal of the Ashley Falls PTA is to enhance the experience of every child on Ashley Falls’ campus through the funding, planning, and execution of programs, services, and events on campus.  

General membership gives families the ability to vote, engage in decision making at General Association meetings, access to our directory, and our newsletters. 

HOWEVER, all donations OVER the general membership dues are what funds the extra programs and services in the classrooms and on campus.

Classrooms with a 90% or above participation rate receive a party to celebrate - Not to mention bragging rights!

All students whose families join during the membership campaign get the new "California Dreaming Ashley the Eagle"!

Join Today!
Upcoming PTA Presentation in Mandarin

The Ashley Falls PTA celebrates our diverse cultures on campus and is proud to offer presentations about the Ashley Falls PTA in Korean, Mandarin, Farsi and Spanish! 

Earlier today, we hosted our PTA presentation in Korean in the MUR. Soon we will host links on our website to recorded presentations in the top 4 non-English languages spoken on our campus.

Please join us next Friday, Sept 6th following the principal's coffee for our presentation in Mandarin.


Volunteer Opportunities

It was so nice meeting many of you at the Back to School Breakfast and Family Night. We will have several volunteer opportunities coming up this fall. Be sure to continuously check out our PTA website for signups. In the meantime, if you have any questions please let me know. Thanks!

Volunteer for Ice Cream Social
We love our teachers and staff!

Thanks to your PTA donations, the Ashley Falls staff celebrated the first week of school with a welcome back lunch, welcome back breakfast, “survival” kits filled with goodies, and this year’s Ashley Falls spirit wear. Our staff is grateful for a warm welcome back to school!! 


Mileage Club has started!

Mileage Club is every morning from 7:45am-8 am and is a GREAT way for kids to get their wiggles out before class. 

This is paid for by the PTA through the generous donations of our members and facilitated by Coach Cunha and Parent Volunteers!

Students earn "footies" for the amount of miles they run over the course of the year. See how many miles your child can log this year!

We need YOUR help! We need more parent Volunteers to make this program come to life. It's ONLY 15 mins and bringing another parent friend makes it more fun! 

Upcoming Opportunities
New Lunch Club coming

Are you interested in volunteering to share some of your family's heritage and culture with students of Ashley Falls? 

We will be starting a new lunch club once a month based on interest and support from Ashley Falls families. If you would like more information or would like to help, please email culturalclub@ashleyfallspta.org.

Ashley Falls Drama Club Returns!

The Ashley Falls PTA is excited to put on another musical this school year!
