🔒 Fraud Prevention Reminder

Your security matters to us! Please note:
✅ The PTA will only ever request payments through Membership Toolkit links or in person at official events.
✅ If you receive an unexpected text, email, or message requesting money on behalf of the PTA, do not respond.
✅ Always verify payment requests through our official channels peeblesptatreasurer@gmail.com.

Together, we can keep our community safe and our funds protected. 💙

📊 Bottom Line:
Our PTA is in a strong financial position going into the fall. With memberships off to a great start and early expenses focused on student resources, we’re well-prepared to support upcoming programs and events.
