As the summer winds down, we hope you are getting some rest and staying safe before we begin school this fall. August 30th will be here before you know it and we cannot wait to welcome you back to school!

The PTSA and Booster Club is instrumental in providing the school with advocacy, outreach, financial support, and building school spirit for our students and staff, and community. In order for us to be able to support these ongoing efforts, we need our families and staff to join us now! Due to COVID-19 we lost a significant amount of income in 2020-2021 with the cancelation of events like the silent auction, the mulch sale (twice), and concessions at sporting events. As nearly all of our large fundraisers were canceled due to the pandemic, we need your membership now more than ever! Every dollar will be used to support students and staff at Northwest. Thank you in advance for your support!

In our ongoing quest to streamline our efforts for our parents and staff, we have ONE membership form to join PTSA and the Booster Club. You have the option to direct your contribution to the PTSA, the Booster Club, or both – we strongly encourage you to support both. We send out ONE e-newsletter each week with all PTSA and Booster Club news. PTSA and Boosters holds JOINT parent meetings to keep you informed. Finally, we utilize ONE website, which contains all the important information for both organizations. Visit www.nwhsptsa.org to join PTSA and the Booster Club, subscribe to our email list, purchase spirit wear, and get the latest news!

Mark your calendars for the PTSA and Booster Club Summer Clearance Sale on Friday, August 13th from 8:00 am – 11:00 am in the gym lobby. Items will be deeply discounted to make room for the 2021-2022 spirit gear. Quantities and sizes are limited and while supplies last. All sales are final. Cash, check, credit card, and Apple Pay will be accepted. New spirit gear will be sold at Back-to-School Night on September 2nd and on Fridays at lunch in the indoor concessions stand by the gymnasium.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Remember to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @NWHSPTSA and @NWHSBoosters! Enjoy the remainder of your summer and I’ll see you soon! Go Jags!
