PTSA

Parent involvement is critical to successful student achievement. Research shows that when families become involved in their child’s education, academic performance improves, attendance is better and students overall have a more positive attitude about school.

Please join the BHS Parent, Teacher and Student Association and also consider an additional donation. Through your generosity, the PTSA supports Teacher and Staff Appreciation initiatives, supports the Yearbook and donates to The Senior All Night Party. The PTSA coordinates a Stock the Lounge event in the fall and organizes a recognition for students who have shown extraordinary levels of grit and determination throughout the year called the PTSA Student Perseverance Award.

We do not have formal fundraisers. Our budget is funded through a tax-deductible donation drive so we don’t interfere with student, sports or booster club fundraisers. Your tax-deductible donation is greatly appreciated!

Volunteers needed

We are looking for volunteers for our Executive Board and committees. Please reach out to Heather if you would like to learn more.

Conference Snacks

Each Fall and Spring, the PTSA provides refreshments for our BHS teachers during Conference days.

Founders Day

Founders Day is a nation-wide PTA event that seeks to recognize outstanding PTSA members, school staff and teachers. Nominations are taken each January and those chosen are recognized at a district-wide dinner in late February/early March.

Membership

PTSA Memberships are available throughout the year. A portion of the dues collected stay at BHS for the benefit of our students while the remainder support the state and national PTA in their efforts to lobby for educational issues. We encourage parents to support and join PTSA.

Off to the Races (OTTR)

OTTR is a fundraising event for the Berkley Education Foundation which includes simulated horse racing, a silent auction and a big vacation give-away. Each school’s PTA purchases the naming rights to a horse and provides goods and/or services for a raffle basket in the silent auction.

PTSA Perserverance Award

PTSA sponsors a gift recognition for students who have made significant gains over the course of the school year or who have overcome a personal challenge to succeed. Students are nominated by their teachers.

Teacher Appreciation

The Teacher Appreciation Committee working with the school's Sources of Strength class, organizes a spring luncheon each year for the teachers and staff.

Back to School Classroom Supply Drive

Our teachers never have enough tissues, pencils, pens and hand sanitizer, so the PTSA steps in to help by organizing a supply drive during the back to school season. Tissue donations are gratefully accepted year round.
