Dear Petrides Families & Staff,

The Michael J. Petrides PTA would like to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year! Whether you have a new student entering the school or have been around for many years, we welcome you all into our special community. The  Petrides PTA has been working hard on several projects to help restore the wonderful events that have taken place in the past. We hope to bring back most of our special gatherings and fundraisers this year!

Our goal every year is to support our school and to enrich our children’s education. We want to help provide programs that positively impact our students and staff and inspire them every day. In addition, we hope to leave a legacy and thoughtfully spend the donations that we all work together to fundraise.

We hope you will help support these incredible programs this year. Our goal is always to increase parent involvement and give every student a voice. We strongly encourage you to get involved at whatever level you choose. Whether it’s attending a Virtual PTA meeting, volunteering at an outside event, or sending in a monetary contribution- it all truly makes a difference. The amount requested for the annual family contribution is $100.00, but please donate whatever you feel comfortable in giving ($5.00, $10.00, $20.00, no donation is too small). Please send in a check payable to MJPPTA or Venmo us @PTAOFMJP. Also, please inquire about your employer's matching gift program!
