As of 10/18/19 the PTA still needs to collect another $500 towards school supplies to break even for the year.  If you haven’t contributed yet and are able to (at any level) please do so by November 1.

Bulk ordering reduces costs and helps to ensure that every child has the same supplies. Parents are asked to pay $40 per student (or what you are able).

Visit our School Supplies main page for basic information and to pay. Visit our FAQ page for further details.

Thank you!

Oct. 18 is the deadline for entering the Thurgood Marshall round of this year’s national PTA “Reflections” arts contest.

Students may enter original work in any of six categories: visual art (2D or 3D), photography, literature, music composition, film/video production and dance choreography! An optional “special artist” category is available to students who qualify under ADA regulations. TM’s entries are placed in age divisions: Grades Pre-K-2 or Grades 3-5.

Entries should reflect the 2019-20 theme, “Look Within.”

Full rules for each category are on the WA State PTA’s Reflections info page. Entries should be brought to the TM Art Room (Room 208), and include this entry form, which requires a short “artist’s statement.”

Questions? Contact the TM PTA’s Reflections coordinator at reflections@tmlink.org.

Winners in this round will advance to a citywide competition, which includes an art show at Seattle Center. There’s a chance to reach the statewide and national rounds! Some recent TM entries have won citywide and statewide recognition. Read about 2018-19 winners.

The PTA Board approved the 2019-20 budget put forth by the budget committee. Please review the attached budget and email PTA@tmlink.org if you have any questions or comments. This budget will be presented to the General Membership for a vote to approve at the PTA General Meeting on Tuesday, May 21, 6:30 PM in the library. All TM families are encouraged to attend.
