What a day!

Hope you Marguerita families rested up after the eventful day. Your PTA Jog-A-Thon committee has been planning this event since early October and it was fun and rewarding to see a lot of volunteers coming out to help, teachers running with their students, and kids running their hearts out. Thank you everyone for your involvement and helping us fundraise. Stay tuned to see if we met our goal of 16k. #margueritaJAT2018 #margueritahuskies #buildingabettercommunity

Support Your Teachers

Thank you Marguerita teachers and administrators for your dedication to our school and our students! It's not too late to help these teachers get 100% participation to win a $25 gift card and be entered to win a teacher's raffle basket! #margueritajat2018 #buildingabettercommunity #supportyourteachers

Ms. Davis' class is currently the only class that has 100% participation! The following teachers are so close (lacking pledges from 5 or fewer students): Chao, Creel, Gao, Lin, Song, Wong. Let's talk to the teachers and support these other students. Let's work together to help get as many classes to 100% participation as we can! The teachers' raffle basket has school supplies valued at over $100!

Three chances to win! The third way you can be entered to win is subscribe to our blog updates/e-newsletter to be entered in the raffle.

Winners will be announced Tuesday November 6th, and you must be a PTA member to win. #margueritaJAT2018 #loveyourPTA #BuildingaBetterCommunity
