Multicultural Family Night is this Wednesday 3/29 from 6-8pm, and we can’t wait to see you all there! Don’t miss out on a great evening of live performances, food trucks, games, crafts, music, and more. Food trucks will open at 5:30 p.m. outside Mustang Hall on Chestnut Street. Please RSVP if you haven’t already. It is not required, but your RSVP greatly helps us with planning.

We’re excited to welcome so many members of our school communities to the Central-Arroyo Stampede & Soar Color Run next Sunday, April 2 from 9-11am! And we are desperate for more volunteers to round out the morning’s activities and make sure the event runs safely and smoothly for our kids. If you haven’t already, PLEASE grab a spot for course monitor, games supervisor, or cleanup — or anything else that you can do!

The Central-Arroyo PTA’s Executive Board positions will be voted on at our April PTA meeting. You can get involved in many ways in addition to Exec Board roles — a few minutes per week, month or year!
