Why join PTA this year? In this unprecedented year, your membership dues will directly support students and families in need, teacher and staff appreciation, professional development, and new remote opportunities. Last year, Bayard Rustin PTA sponsored multiple events including STEM night and International Night, and provided the funding for teacher supplies, playground equipment, and much more. This year, we will be supporting our children with specials supply kits, access to educational online resources, and more. The PTA will also continue to provide teachers with $100 worth of reimbursements toward their supplies of choice, such as manipulatives for the students or home office supplies. We also plan on continuing our support of teacher training and continued education. Finally, we want to invite all incoming kindergarten parents (and new parents) to join the PTA as a way to become part of the special community that we have at Bayard Rustin. We want to support all of our families during this challenging time and being part of the PTA allows you to advocate on behalf of your children. If you have any questions or suggestions about PTA membership, please reach out to us at membership@brespta.org. Click here to renew or sign up to become a PTA member. Membership dues are $20 per person per year or $40 per family per year.
