Greetings from the North PTSA!

​

Well here we are mid November, and so far, we have remained in school, in person, with no major Covid outbreak.  I think we are all collectively relieved that everything has gone so smoothly so far.  It's been great to be back to 'normal", especially serving our school community in the Ram's Cave, daily. We were so pleased when we reopened!!

 

Thanks to all who have joined the PTSA so far.  We have now over 670 members. As we have met our initial membership goal we received the NY State PTA  "On Target Award" and "Trailblazer Award" for the 2021/2022 school year.   If you or anyone you know is interested on being a member of the PTSA at North, please go on line to https://chsnorthptsa.memberhub.com/store#

​

Here is the Executive Board for the 2021-2022 school year.

 

Co- Presidents - Angela Barry and Sonal Caceres

VP Ram's Cave - Jessica Fetterman

VP Memberhub - Hollie Bialek

Treasurer - Karen Topchik

Secretary - Jill Degen

 

We hope to see you all at the upcoming meeting.

 

Obviously, things are still up in the air as regards PTSA events.  But, we are hoping that we will be able to a lot more than we did last year, so stay tuned as we will be looking for volunteers.  Membership Drive, Spiritwear and the Ram's Cave are the biggest things going on right now.  There's a lot of information coming!!

Ram's Cave:

After being closed since March 12th 2020, the Ram's Cave opened on Monday September 13th.  For those of you that may not know this is our food, snack and beverage store that serves staff and students.  It's a walk up window, but because things are different now with Covid, we need to try and do things a little differently.  Here is a message from Jessica Fetterman:

 

Ram's Cave is up and running!  Our hours will be 9:45 - 3:00.  We ask that you bring small bills to make our lines move quicker and avoid crowds.  Also, we strongly recommend that you buy Cave Cash this year to also reduce lines.  They are pre-paid vouchers and can be purchased on our online store and picked up at the Cave...https://chsnorthptsa.memberhub.com/store#.  Once you order, you will receive an email confirmation with a pickup date.  

 

We are a volunteer based store.  All proceeds benefit our students and school. 

Parents, interested in volunteering?  Please join our Facebook group, Ram's Cave Volunteers, and send us an email at ramscave@gmail.com.  All volunteers must be PTSA members and show proof of vaccination according to district policy.
