 SUN in partnership with the PTA Inclusion Committee is hosting the 3rd annual Share-A-Toy Donation Drive to provide families within our community an opportunity to come select holiday gifts before the winter break. We are seeking donations of new or excellent condition toys to include in the toy drive.

Check your kid's room for those forgotten or unused toys, or purchase something from one of our local shops like Hammer + Jacks or Red Castle Games, then bring it to the office by December 13th. Email melissasircy@gmail.com with any questions. Thanks for your support!

If you would like to shop for your family, set up an appointment with Raina Bilbrew at rbilbrew@pps.net

Our third through fifth grades are letting their musical skills shine at the Arleta Winter Concert, Thursday December 12th, from 5:30-7pm at the Arleta auditorium. It's always a fun and sweet show for very proud parents and family and friends.

Third graders performing in the concert must arrive by 5:15pm.

Fourth graders performing in the concert must arrive by 5:45 pm.

Fifth graders performing in the concern must arrive by 6:15 pm.

Students may wear normal clothes or dress up.

The Season of Giving is upon us! Once again our Arleta Counselors, SUN Program and PTA Inclusion Committee is teaming up to rally our community to raise funds in support of Arleta families. Gift cards will be purchased to directly support families for holiday meals, gifts or fulfill whatever their needs are. Our fundraising goal is $2,700! That will ensure each family receives $150.

Please consider making a donation via venmo to @Audrienne-Manansala (school counselor), or bring cash, check or unused gift cards to the office for Ms. Aud by Friday, December 13th at 3pm. Please give generously!

Each year, intrepid Arleta readers devour books and compete to answer questions about them with other teams around the city and region! It's an exciting way to explore books and get better at close reading!

Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) is open to grades 3-5 and kids will join teams of 2-5 players. Check out this year's book list, available as physical books and audiobooks through Multnomah County Libraries. Learn more about Arleta OBOB. Registration extended until December 15th.

For more information or to join a team, email arletaobob@gmail.com.

Konstella is a new communication tool built for school groups that the Arleta PTA will start using for our school this year, which should make it easier to keep families informed and communicate directly with each other. 

Konstella can do all of this in the language of your choice: join social and parent groups, sign up to volunteer, see newsletters and announcements, join committees, get event reminders and classroom communications, file and photo sharing, see calendar of events, send private and group messages, access the parent and teacher directory, view information on your cell phone or computer. Learn more at konstella.com.

Arleta thrives on the collaboration of parents, guardians, students, and staff to make all the great things and events happen at Arleta. This includes you. We'd love to incorporate your voice, suggestions, ideas, participation, and/or leadership to make things happen, both old and new.

 Above shows a snapshot of what the PTA stands for, what the PTA hosts/supports, and Committees within it. The flyer also highlights school-facilitated programs unique to Arleta separate from the PTA, as well as PTA partners. 

To dissolve the mystery, the PTA is nothing more than a bunch of parent volunteers who want to work together to help enrich the experiences of all our kids and provide opportunities for us to build relationships with one another. By doing this under the umbrella of a non-profit PTA, Arleta is able to tap into assistance, resources, grants, fundraising opportunities, and legal protections that would otherwise be unavailable to us. 

Want to learn more? We'd love to talk with you!

A HUGE thank you to the community members who stepped up to keep Arleta's PTA alive this year!  

We still have a few spots where we could use some help. 

We need a leader for our Green Team, and could definitely use additional co-chair assistance for Fundraising, Events, Inclusion, Advocacy, Family Engagement or really anywhere your interests lie. 

Don't want to lead, just want to be an occasional volunteer? We'd love to know that too! Email arletaschoolpta@gmail.com to get involved 

and 

THANK YOU!
