Dear Tesla STEM Families,

As we begin a new year, we want to take a moment to reflect with gratitude on the strength of our Tesla STEM community—and to share some exciting news.

🎉 We’re Going Platinum! 🎉

Thanks to your incredible support, Tesla STEM PTSA has earned the Washington State PTA Platinum Membership Growth Award, recognizing PTAs that achieve 20% or more membership growth in a single year. This milestone is a testament to our families showing up, staying engaged, and believing in the value of a strong school community. Every membership truly mattered.

Because of your continued support, the PTSA is able to enhance our students’ educational experience through classroom resources, teacher grants, school-wide events, and programs that go beyond what the school budget alone can provide. None of this work would be possible without our families.

If you haven’t yet had an opportunity, we invite you to join the PTSA or consider making a donation. Membership is a simple yet meaningful way to support our students, teachers, and school—whether or not you’re able to volunteer. It also strengthens the partnership between families and the school while ensuring student voices are represented.

The suggested minimum donation is $150 per family (excluding any company matching funds). As a small school, every contribution—large or small—has a meaningful impact on the opportunities and experiences we can offer our students throughout the year.

Did You Know?
All donations to the PTSA are 100% tax-deductible, and many employers offer matching gift programs that can double—or even triple—your contribution at no additional cost. We encourage you to check with your employer to see if a matching program is available.

Thank you for your generosity, engagement, and continued support as we move into the new year. We are deeply grateful to be part of such a caring and committed school community.

Warmly,
Namrata Kanabarkar & Priya Babu Chandra Mohan
2025–2026 Co-Presidents
