August 2024 Newsletter
Hello Southwest Academy Family and Friends!
The Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA) of Southwest Academy would like to welcome you back to another school year! We are looking forward to meeting you and working with you this year. We are a non-profit organization that advocates for and supports the educational, social, and physical well-being of students, as well as our school community. We have a number of activities tentatively planned this year, included a Sneakerball, Doughnuts with Grownups, American Education Week activities, and so much more. More information about PTSA events and programs will be provided in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Phyllis King, SWA PTSA President, at 443-799-5708 or by email at [email protected]
Membership Dues:
Membership dues for 2024-2025 are $10 for adults and $5 for students. We encourage our students to be a party of the PTSA. We need our students to voice their opinions to continue the growth of our school. As you know, anyone can join the PTSA – parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, administrators, teachers, students, staff members and friends. More information will be available at the Back-to-School Nights on September 4 (grade 6) and September 11 (grade 7 & 8).
2024-2025 Fundraisers:
We are asking for your support of our fundraisers this year so that we can continue to provide quality programs/activities for the school. Our first fundraiser of the school year will be World’s Finest Chocolate. Students check out boxes of chocolate (containing 30 bars at $2 per bar), sell them to family and friends, and return the money to the school. Participants will be eligible for some really great prizes! Money from our fundraisers will go toward PTSA activities as well as a major project for the school – an electric sign. The marquee at the front of the school is seriously outdated and needs to be replaced so we will enlist your help again this year to get this done. Stay tuned for more information regarding all of our fundraising efforts this year. We look forward to seeing you soon!
