Field Elementary School PTA

09/03/2026

✨UPDATE👉Since posting this morning, we have 20 new sign ups with means we are now just 26 away from our goal! A big shout out to all of those who have signed up and to the teachers who sent out messages to parents this morning!! Thank you! Let's keep going!✨

🚨 WE HAVE ABOUT 36 HOURS LEFT! 🚨

Field families, we are SO close! 🦅❤️

We’re currently at about 94 PTA members, and our goal is 140.

That means we need about 46 more Field families to join us before the Membership Challenge ends tomorrow night!

And remember… every membership counts toward your child’s classroom! 🏆

So if you’ve been thinking, “I still need to do that…” THIS IS YOUR SIGN. 😉

🦅 Join PTA
🦅 Help your classroom climb the ranks
🦅 Help us reach 140 Field families
🦅 Help make Field an even stronger community

If you've already signed up, call a friend!

And don’t forget: the winning classroom gets extra recess + popsicles and something special for the classroom teacher! 🍧🎉

We’re in the final stretch. Let’s get to 140!

⏳ 2 days until Preview Day!

If you haven't looked through the Book Fair booklet or online with your student yet; tonight's a great time!

Friday 9/4 is PREVIEW DAY. Your kid(s) will browse in-person and can start their wish lists for shopping days the following week.

🌟Shopping days: Sept 8, 9, 10 & 11.

Since 2019, we’ve donated over 500,000 books to underfunded schools, women & children’s care centers, and nonprofits.

🏁 WE'RE HALFWAY THERE!
We've reached the halfway point of the Field PTA Membership Challenge!

Some classrooms are pulling ahead… 👀

Some are making a move…

And some may be quietly waiting until Friday to make their big play. 😂

With 84 sign up at 7pm last night, we're getting closer to our 140-member school-wide goal!

Current Leaders:
Robertson - 11
Thomas - 9
Brown - 9

Remember:

Every membership = 1 point for your classroom. Do you have more than one child? They are reach receiving a point.

If you haven't joined yet, there's still plenty of time to help your classroom (and help Field reach 140 members). Because Field is better together!

Where does your classroom stand?

Let's keep it going, Field Eagles! 🦅❤️

✨FIELD IS BETTER TOGETHER!✨FIELD PTA MEMBERSHIP CHALLENGE✨

Today, we kicked off the Field PTA Membership Challenge, and we'd love to have your family join us!

Our goal isn't just to increase PTA membership. We want more Field families connected, involved, and to feel like you are part of our school community.

Here's how the Membership Challenge works:

We have 18 classrooms competing for the most PTA memberships.

Every membership = one point for your child's classroom. Purchase a couples membership, your child gets two points. Have more than one child, they will each get a point.

Memberships purchased before the challenge count, too! (See the photos below. You're already on the board!)

Our school-wide goal is 140 members.

The winning classroom will earn a Popsicle Party + Extra Recess!

Memberships are just $10 for an individual, $17 for two adults in the same household, or $5.25 for school staff. (Yes, staff counts, too!)

Ready to join? Scan the QR code (flyer in comments) or use the membership link below. Let's see what Field families can accomplish together! CHALLENGE ENDS FRIDAY!
