(Taxes, gift cards and retail sales are excluded from this donation.)  You can also mention the Evergreen PTSA Fundraiser at checkout.

This fundraiser is valid only on Thursday, February 20 exclusively at the Redmond Ridge location (near Novelty Hill QFC), for dine-in, carry out or phone orders. (Online orders are not eligible.)   Grab some friends and make some plans to head out to MOD Pizza to support our PTSA!

Serving on the PTSA is a great way to connect with your student's school and community. We are looking for volunteers to fill positions on Evergreen's PTSA Board of Directors for next school year, 2020-2021. We are looking for passionate and committed parents of 6th, 7th and 8th graders. This will help us create a diverse, inclusive and strong board to serve the school community.
 
A list of positions is available here.  Please contact our Nominating Committee if you are interested and would like more information - nomcom@evergreenptsa.org.

We are looking for a few positions to round up your PTSA and deliver the best outcomes for our students and staff.

Congratulations to the 64 Evergreen Math Team members who competed at the Math Is Cool Middle School Championship at Liberty High School on Friday, February 7!
 
We had some terrific results! The 6^th grade team placed 2^nd  (Alex Chen placed 1^st, and Boya Zhang placed 5^th).

The 7^th grade team placed 1^st and took 6 of the top 7 individual awards for Algebra: Alan Duan placed 1^st. Alon Ragoler placed 2^nd. Ethan Li placed 3^rd. Reese Long placed 4^th. Advaith Vankamamidi placed 5^th. Elliott Kaiser placed 7^th. And the 8^th grade team placed 7^th.

As a result of their strong performance, the 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade teams have each been invited to send a team of four students to compete at the Masters state-level competition in April.  The students with the highest individual scores have been selected to represent Evergreen. Good luck to the teams at Math Is Cool Masters!
