About Parent Teacher Student Association
PHS PTSA 2008-2009
Helping our kids; helping our school

Our PTSA has taken a hands-on approach to supporting the teachers, students and parents of Pasadena High School. We've continued several exciting programs and added a few as well:

        Wish List: In past year's the PTSA  implemented the Teacher's Wish List and for the         school year 2007 - 2008 school year the PTSA implmented a "School Wide Wish                 List Project". With the receipt of a $5,000 LOWES grant and  with the help  of PHS             parents, the Pasadena Educational Foundation, the PHS Alumni, and                                 various neighborhood businesses, we were able to raise enough funds to purchase             over $17,000 worth of benches, recycling bins, trash receptacles, trees, bushes and         plants for th campus.
         
        These projects require funds that are not available.  Please consider
        making a tax deductible donation to the PHS PTSA Wish List (Federal ID #                       95-3125708). For additional information please contact Connie Brown at                         connie@jigglyjoints.com  Future projects include:
  •           Continue planting roses, trees, flowers and shrubs throughout the campus
  •           Refurbish benches to be used in the Bulldog Beautification Project
  •           Renovate restrooms to create safe and sanitary conditions.  Work with the              adminsitration to get more restrooms available on campus.

  • Parent Communication: The PTSA is looking for more ways to help parents connect with the school. Currently, we are offering to send the Daily Bulletin to all parents via e-mail. The Daily Bulletin is read to the students everyday and contains information about events happening on campus as well as important dates and reminders. In addition, the Daily Bulletin is  posted on the school's web site www.pasadenahigh.org. If you would like to receive the Daily Bulletin, please e-mail Connie Brown at connie@jigglyjoints.com  A goal for next year is to help provide the parents with additional newsletters throughout the year.

  • Campus Beautification: The PTSA  organizes  Campus Beautification/Work Days. This past school year we  received a $5,000 grant from Lowe's -  so we  scheduled two Campus Beautification/'Work Day's.  On Saturday, October 20, 2007  and  on Saturday, March 29, 2008 our volunteers painted, planted trees & bushes, put in sprinklers and generally helped make Pasadena High School a more beautiful campus.  To help with future work days contact Madalyn Jones Barber at maddjb22@yahoo.com   All volunteers are welcome!!
