Virtual Family Bingo Night is Coming!!!
Want something fun for the whole family to do from the comfort of your own home? Do the kids want to win some awesome prizes? Then gather up some snacks and say you'll join us on Friday, September 17th from 6:30 - 7:30 to play virtual family bingo! Playing is easy - simply rsvp HERE.
PTSA members play free. You get:
1 card for a single membership package
4 cards for a family package
6 cards for a premium package
Non-members (and members wishing to purchase additional cards) can send in $1 per card needed in an envelope marked "Bingo" with your child's name, teacher, and grade by Thursday, September 16th. Cards and chips will be sent home in backpacks on Friday. If your child is virtual, you can pick up materials in a bin by the front door on Friday OR contact Becky White at bwhite@fordptsa.org and cards will be sent digitally for you to print at home.
So how does all of this work? On Friday, the 17th (a little after 5pm), an invitation link will be sent to the email address you used to rsvp. A few minutes before 6:30pm we will start letting everyone into the bingo game. We will call numbers live while adding them to our shared screen digital board. If you get bingo, please yell it out to let us know, take a picture of your card, and text it with your name to the phone number on the screen. Once our card checker confirms your bingo, they will send you the link to the sign-up genius to claim your prize. You can claim your prize right away or wait until after bingo is over (if you'd like to focus on continuing to play).We will often have multiple bingo winners per game. Please don't clear your cards until we let you know it is ok, and then we will start a new game using the same cards. Prizes will be sent home via backpacks on Monday. Virtual students' prizes can be picked up from the office or held until they return to school. If you saved your chips from last year and would like to help conserve resources, please let us know when your rsvp. Otherwise we will include chips with all cards.
Our awesome prize gallery can be seen by clicking HERE. You'll want to refer to the photos when choosing your prize on the sign-up genius.
If you are unsure of your PTSA membership status, you can search your emails for a MemberHub receipt
OR reach out to sdavidson@fordptsa.org or senahora@fordptsa.org. If you haven't joined yet, we would love to have you! Your membership helps fund fun family events (like this one), educational enrichment, and SO, SO much more! Please click HERE to join.

Why Should I Join PTSA?
Joining PTSA has never been more important than it is now. Even if you don't have time to volunteer, the cost of your membership alone goes a long way to help to purchase awesome educational programs like RAZ Kids, Starfall, and Scholastic Weekly. It means we can organize fun activities like Family Bingo Night, Fall Festival, the annual school dance, and so much more. Plus you will be supporting our hard working teachers and staff throughout the year by helping fund appreciation events and giving us the ability to fulfill teacher grant requests. YOU can help us do all of that without even stepping foot in the school - just by joining! Please remember, membership is PTSA's main source of income besides money raised at family events. So go ahead and explore some of our great membership packages and the swag you get with them. You can sign up the kids, uncles, grandmas - anyone can be a PTSA member, and you can feel good knowing exactly where the cost of your membership goes!
Of course if you would like to get involved, we have lots of volunteer opportunities for every level of availability. After a year without volunteers at the school, we are excited to welcome you back. Please click on the "volunteer" tab to find the perfect fit for you.
