Progress Village Middle Magnet School PTSA

09/02/2026

📬 THE FIRST MONTHLY PV NEWSLETTER OF 2026–27 HAS LANDED.

Is it complete? Absolutely. Probably. Maybe. 😂

After approximately 2,473 phone calls, texts, emails, hallway conversations, carrier pigeons, and “WAIT, DID ANYONE TELL PTSA?!” moments, we have done our best to gather ALL THE THINGS.

Did we miss something? Almost certainly. 👀
Please withhold judgment. We are also just out here surviving. 😂

Anyway…HERE IT IS. 👇
Hopefully this helps keep everyone slightly less confused. 😅

Have questions? We might be able to persuade answers out of someone at the school. No promises. Unless you bring bribery snacks...bribery snacks almost always work. 👀🍪

Want to help us survive?
❤️ Join PTSA
🙋 Volunteer when you can
📣 Share information
⭐Do all the helpful things

It takes all of us—and hope. Lots and lots of hope. 😂

Welcome to another year at PV. LET’S DO THIS. 🚀

☕🎲 PBIS STARBUCKS GAME LOUNGE IS COMING. 🎲☕

Next week, the PBIS team is turning the cafeteria into a caffeine-free casino of board games, cards, & questionable levels of chaos. 😂

📅 Sept. 10 — 6th Grade
📅 Sept. 11 — 7th & 8th Grade

🎟️ Payment: During lunches Sept. 2–4 using PBIS Starbucks! (Number of students is capped, so get your ticket ASAP)

BUT WE NEED YOU, PARENTS. 😁

We need VOLUNTEERS to help corral the not so tiny humans AND donations of board games + playing cards to keep the chaos entertaining.

Come volunteer. Donate a game. Earn your spot in the chaos.

WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU. 😭☕🎲

🎉 WE HAVE WINNERS! 🎉

Apparently, joining the PTSA DOES come with perks. Who knew? 😏

🎟️ Tampa Bay Rays Tickets — Faculty/Staff Raffle Winner:
🏆 Mrs. Leavitt! ⚾️
Enjoy the game! And yes, we are officially jealous.

🧁 Nothing Bundt Cake — Incentives Week Winner:
🏆 Ms. Burrell!
Because sometimes the reward for supporting kids is… CAKE. As it should be. 😂

But wait… there’s more! 👀

Starting next month, we’ll have a monthly PTSA raffle for Faculty & Staff, and the winner will be announced during Incentives Week!

Meanwhile, students must join the PTSA as STUDENT MEMBERS to participate in the monthly student incentives. 🎁

So, basically:

👩‍🏫 Faculty & Staff: Join PTSA → Enter the monthly raffle → Potentially win cool stuff.

🎒 Students: Join as a student member → Participate in monthly incentives → Potentially win cool stuff.

It’s almost like we’re trying to bribe everyone into joining. 🤷‍♀️😂

🍎 PVMS FACULTY & STAFF — THIS ONE IS JUST FOR YOU! 💚

It’s Faculty & Staff PTSA Week, and we’d LOVE to have you join us!

For just $11 for the entire school year, your membership helps give our PTSA a solid foundation to start the year. And honestly? The more members we have, the less we have to come back to everyone asking for donations every five minutes. 😂
Your membership helps us support our school throughout the year — and last year, your PTSA membership and fundraising dollars helped make things happen, including:
💚 Supporting students and school programs
🍎 Supporting our faculty and staff
🎨 Helping provide opportunities and resources for our students
🎉 School events and activities
🎓 Student recognition and celebrations
📚 Supporting classroom/school needs
💰 Fundraising that directly benefits PVMS

And this year, we're working toward doing even MORE.

BUT WAIT… THERE'S A PERK. 👀⚾️

Faculty and staff who join during our membership drive will also be eligible for our Tampa Bay Rays 4-ticket voucher drawing! 🎟️🎟️🎟️🎟️

And parents — if you have a favorite teacher, counselor, administrator, elective teacher, or staff member you'd like to thank, you can sponsor their $11 membership! We'll notify the faculty/staff member that their membership was sponsored by a PV family. 💚

Think of it as a tiny $11 investment that says:
“I believe in our school, I support our students, and I appreciate the people who make PVMS special.”

And if that $11 also gets you a shot at a Rays game? Well… that's what we call a win-win. 😉⚾️

👉 Join PTSA or sponsor a faculty/staff membership:

Thank you for everything you do for our students. We'd love to have you as part of the PVMS PTSA family! 💚🍎

⭐PV PTSA STUDENT INCENTIVE DAY IS COMING NEXT WEEK ⭐

Wednesday, AUGUST 26TH = WE. ARE. BACK. 😎🎉

Our FIRST PTSA Student Incentive Day of the school year is happening during ALL lunches 📍 AKA: WHERE THE CHAOS WILL BE, and we are READY to celebrate our incredible PTSA student members with:

🍿 SNACKS
🥤 DRINKS
🎮 GAMES
🎁 PRIZES
😂 QUESTIONABLE AMOUNTS OF PTSA CHAOS

BUT HERE’S THE THING…

Trying to pull this off with 1–2 PTSA Board members is basically asking for a minor organizational crisis. 😂 We need YOU.

Want to donate items? 👏 AMAZING.

Hate shopping and were about to say, “Absolutely not”? 🚫 NOPE. DON’T OPT OUT OF THE FUN. 😂 You can donate through the SignUp Genius below or through the PTSA Givebacks link (also below) and help us stock the party without ever entering a store.

Want to come hang out with the FUNNEST, FUNNIEST volunteer crew around AND spend some time with our amazing kiddos? COME VOLUNTEER THAT DAY! 🥳

👉 SIGN UP FOR ANY. ALL. THE. THINGS. HERE:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0545A4A923A2F85-65266150-august

Donate monetarily here: https://pvptsa.givebacks.com/shop

And if your kiddo ISN’T a PTSA member yet…

👀 WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!

It’s only $11 to join, and that $11 basically starts paying itself off immediately because we do these Student Incentive Days ONCE A MONTH for the ENTIRE 10-MONTH SCHOOL YEAR. Snacks. Games. Prizes. Fun. Community. All the things.

👉 JOIN PTSA HERE:
https://pvptsa.givebacks.com/shop

One VERY IMPORTANT PSA for our PTSA parents:

PLEASE tell your child if they are a PTSA member. 😂

Because we already know what’s coming:

“MY CHILD DIDN’T GET TO GO TO THE INCENTIVE DAY.” 😭

Bestie. Your child literally has to walk past us to get into lunch. 😂 The staff knows we're there and tells the students, each lunch table gets notified, AND WE ARE VERY OBVIOUS. WE ARE NOT HIDING, PROMISE.

So if your child sees us and thinks:

😳 “Absolutely not.”
😎 “I’m too cool for this.”
🏃 “I suddenly have somewhere else to be.”

…we cannot physically drag them over to the table or just them down the hallway like a crazed carnival barker. 😂

BUT WE CAN MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WE’RE THERE, AND WE WILL ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE GOOD STUFF WAITING FOR THEM.

So please help us keep them informed, keep them participating, and keep those PTSA membership benefits from going to waste!

We LOVE doing this for our students, but we genuinely need your help to make it happen. ❤️

Donate. Volunteer. Join PTSA. Bring the chaos.

WE NEED YOU. 😂❤️

Let’s make our first Incentive Day of the year completely UNHINGED. 🎉🔥
