PTSA Needs Your Pledges and Help!
The PTSA Marches on, and we are marching ever closer to summer! Spring is almost here, bringing new sports and activities and most importantly our children outside. Spring is also the time that the PTSA raises funds. The money you pledge toward the Ranger Run allows us to continue to support the Naches Valley Schools.
The Naches Valley PTSA is a volunteer based 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. We love what we do and couldn’t do it without the donations and support from our community.
Spring is also the time when we are looking for board members for the 2019-2020 school year. If you are interested please contact a board member or send us an e-mail to nachesvalleyptsa@gmail.com. We would be happy to meet with you and answer any questions you may have.
