Dear Parents, Staff and Students,

Welcome back to school and happy new year! We wish you health and happiness in 2021.

Our largest fundraiser, our annual Arts & Crafts Show held annually in November, was cancelled due to COVID-19 in 2020, so we are counting on your membership support now more than ever! Becoming an SHS PTSA member is easy and it only costs $5/member. Some of these funds go towards the administrative costs we must submit to the East Cobb Council of PTAs as well as Georgia PTA. The rest stays here at our school and allows us to support different events and academic needs around the school. For our class of 2021, we still plan on awarding student scholarships this year, so make sure you join PTSA too!

We are unable to hold our in-person membership drives this year so please join online by going here: http://sprayberryptsa.org/join-ptsa-online/

Please encourage freshman and families who are new to SHS to sign up for our weekly e-newsletter. This will help keep them informed of SHS events and news. They can subscribe right here on our main page – look for the sign up box right under on logo on the right hand side of the page.

We appreciate your support and we look forward to the time we can see you in person! For general inquiries, reach out to us at sprayberryptsa@gmail.com.

Go Jackets,

2020-2021 School Year

Thank YOU!
Thank you to our 2019-2020 SY members! We were able to fund many projects at SHS due to your support and your patronage of our annual Arts & Crafts Show.
Here are the highlights of what we funded this year:
-$10,000 in senior scholarships
-$3,879 in teacher grants
-$3,000 in AP test scholarships to our students
-$1500 to fund Shop with a Yellow Jacket
-$785 for Welcome Back Luncheon for staff in July 2019
-$200 for teacher retirement gifts
There were many events that we typically fund that were not held this year due to COVID-19: Art Show, Senior Breakfast, Honors and Awards Night, End-of-Year Teacher Appreciation Lunch, Spruce Up Sprayberry, just to name a few. We hope those events resume in 2021.

Thank you to all who attended our virtual PTSA meeting on 5/5. The following nominations for the 2020-2021 SY were accepted by membership vote:
Co-Presidents: Julie Lesko and Jennifer Modi
Vice President: Katherine Johnson
Treasurer: Susan Lucki
Secretary: Dee Swann
