PTA News

Dear Bamber Families,

When we sent our original PTA meeting and event calendar out with our membership form we had originally scheduled a meeting on Oct 21st at 2:30pm. It has come to our attention that there is a staff meeting for the Bamber Valley staff at that same time.  In an effort to make our PTA meeting accessible to Bamber Valley staff, we are going to postpone our October PTA meeting to October 28th at 2:30pm.

We hope you will be able to join us after school on October 28th for our next Bamber PTA meeting!

The Fall 2025 PTA Special Projects Grant Application is Now Open!

Have a creative idea that could bring something new or meaningful to our school community? The PTA is excited to offer $8,400 in grant funding this year for one-time projects that go beyond the day-to-day. These funds are for projects that spark curiosity, build connection, and create memorable moments for our students. These grants are open to teachers, staff, parents and caretakers for special experiences, events, or pilot programs. See the flyer below for more information.

Sincerely,

Your BV PTA Board
