The 2020 Margie Hatfield Scholarship application and cover letter is now available!

Each spring East Cobb Council of PTAs (ECCC PTA) award one $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior from each of the six ECCC high schools. The scholarship, known as the Margie Hatfield Scholarship, honors the dedication and years of service given by Mrs. Hatfield to the youth of our council. In recognition of her volunteer involvement, the Margie Hatfield Scholarship Fund awards deserving seniors who have made significant contributions to the community. The application must be postmarked no later than February 28, 2020. One student from each of the six East Cobb high schools will be selected. 
Any graduating senior enrolling in a full-time course of study at any institute of higher learning may apply. Students, however, must be a member of SHS PTSA and if awarded a scholarship, must use the funds for continuing education.
Seniors, if you are not a member of our PTSA you can join during Spring Semester Open House on 1/23 or online HERE.

2020 Craft Show Application

Wow! Our feet are tired but our hearts are full! Thank you to the Sprayberry community for supporting our 37th Annual Arts and Crafts show this past weekend. We had terrific crowds and appreciate your patronage so much. A HUGE thank you to our wonderful crafters for their support of our show year after year. We also owe a debt of gratitude to our volunteers: parents, students, grandparents, staff all came together to pull off this huge undertaking. We couldn’t do it without you! This event helps fund student scholarships, teacher grants, and events throughout our school. Our sincerest thank yous for your support as it directly impacts our ability to fund these wonderful programs.

Yellow Jacket Families,

For those that have already joined PTSA you have probably noticed you did not receive a membership card in your SHS packet. That was not an oversight. In years past we have been provided paper membership cards through East Cobb Council of PTAs (ECCC) in conjunction with District 9 PTA and Georgia PTA. This year the entities that govern our PTA elected to go paperless and that led to several changes we wanted to inform you of here:

– In the past our PTA had to submit monthly membership numbers to GA PTA and pay dues based on that membership ($3.75/member). We did that via paper form and snail mail. This year, paper/by mail is not an option and we have to upload our membership numbers into a service called MemberHub online.

– Once your info (name, email address, type of membership – we share nothing else) has been uploaded you will receive an email from MemberHub with a receipt for the $3.75 (the portion of your $5 membership that goes towards GA PTA dues).

– You will find a link in that email where you can go and print your PTA Membership card. While that card is not needed to access PTA programs and benefits at SHS it may be needed to access ECCC PTA member discounts which can be found HERE.

– If your student or spouse joined SHS PTSA but their email address was not provided you will not receive a receipt or a link for their membership card. This is because MemberHub has a flaw – it will only allow us to use an email once so we can’t assign the same email to two (or more) parents or students. You can email us if you’d like to add their email so they can print their own card. Again, the PTA Membership cards are not needed to access SHS PTSA benefits, only if you want to use the member discounts linked here and above.

– Please note: Seniors who joined SHS PTSA in order to apply for our scholarship in the spring do not need a membership card to apply. Seniors, make sure to join though because we award $10,000 in scholarships. Go HERE to join.

– If you did not get a chance to join our organization at NewBeez or Open House, there’s still time! You can join online HERE or print out our paper formand turn it into the front office with your payment.

We appreciate your support of PTSA! Want to know what we do with the funds raised through membership and at our annual Arts & Crafts Show? Go HERE to learn more about the over $20,000 we provided in support to students, families, teachers, and events around our school during 2018-2019 SY.

Thank you for your support,
SHS PTSA Executive Committee
