2021-22 PTA MEMBERSHIP
PTA members support our school in ways budget limitations have made difficult for the school alone by purchasing items and supporting programs to enhance our children’s education.
Bear Valley PTA now offers online membership or if you prefer, you may use the offline paper form and send it in to your child's teacher. REMINDER: You must sign up for PTA ANNUALLY.
SPIRIT WEAR AND REUSABLE SHOPPING BAGS
We have limited supplies of spirit wear available for purchase. Please contact Meredith Bass at president@bearvalleypta.com to see if they have your child's size. We have a new Online Spirit Shop this year, with new styles and designs you can order. This will be open at various times throughout the year.
UPDATES WILL GO HOME IN THE WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS AND ANNOUNCED ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE TO INFORM YOU WHEN THE SPIRIT SHOP IS OPEN!

YEARBOOK PHOTOS
The Yearbook Committee is starting to collect photos for the yearbook. This year, we are using Shutterfly Share Sites to collect and manage our photos.
Shutterfly makes it so simple to upload photos and even has an app that makes it even easier. To upload photos, please go to: bearvalleyyearbook.shutterfly.com to get started. You will have to login with an existing Shutterfly account, or signup for an account. It will then ask if you would like to request permission to join the site. This is a one-time step to keep the photos private. Once your access has been verified, you may login and start uploading!.
Please email yearbook@bearvalleypta.com if you would like to join the yearbook committee or if you have any questions!
