Do You Like to Garden and Play in the Dirt?
If so, join the BPE Garden Parents this weekend for some fun!

When: Sunday, May 29th • 9 am – 1 pm
We’ll be working on some “end-of-year” projects and need your help!

No gardening experience is needed! Bring some gloves and a shovel (if you have them), grab your kids and join us!

The D.O.G.S are looking for dad volunteers!
Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Bay Park Elementary Dad’s group, DOGS (Dads of Great Students).
DOGS is a support team for the Bay Park Elementary PTA and no actual dogs are required or involved… haha.
There are quite a few Dad’s interested in taking part in the DOGS for the rest of this 21/22 school year and we’re talking to you. Although DOGS was started so late this year, we’re also recruiting DOGS now for the 22/23 school year.
What is DOGS group all about? The DOGS are invited to complete tasks for the Bay Park Elementary PTA. Some examples of tasks are:
-
Help out for Movie Night on May 13
-
Fixing tables/benches
-
Playground projects
-
Helping with the Halloween Carnival
-
Setting up the Haunted Hallway
-
Install Drip Irrigation in Planter Boxes
-
and So Much More.
In the past the DOGS have also been a social group that met up at local breweries, batting cages, or the back nine to hang out and meet other dads.
This week, the PTA has 2 main objectives for the DOGS and we’re calling out all you DADS that want to get involved.

FYI – I don’t believe it’s mandatory to join BPE PTA, although the link below can take you to the Totem website which manages our BPE PTA membership. It’s only $21 and once a member you can take part in activities, committees, association meetings, etc. And the membership fee goes into our general annual budget. https://jointotem.com/ca/san-diego/bay-park-elementary-pta
I look forward to meeting each of you guys.
Sincerely,
