Frequently Asked Questions
1. I thought you said that "Pass the Hat" was
the only fundraiser and now there's a magazine drive going on. Why another
fundraiser?
"Pass the Hat" is the PTSA's one and only major fundraiser for the school and we greatly appreciate everyones enthusiatic participation. The magazine drive is the major fundraiser for the ASB at Beaver Lake.
2. ASB - PTSA. What's the difference?
The ASB stands for the Associated Student Body. These are all the students of Beaver Lake they make the decisions for the school as to what clubs they want, how many socials they can afford, what sort of contests they want to run, and what kind of humanitarian projects they want to tackle. It also encompasses the sports and drama production. They must earn their own money and there are strict guidelines as to how they may spend it.
The PTSA takes on a more supportive role at the middle school level. We still provide some of the programs you're used to seeing such as Reflections and Destination Imagination. We look for ways to partner with the ASB to give them leadership opportunities but to help fill in where needed. For example, with humanitarian projects and staff appreciation. Another important function of the PTSA is providing scholarship money and grant money that is all spent on educational needs for Beaver Lake. And of course, the volunteers for chaperoning, tutoring, and other activities throughout the year.
