Hi everyone,

Tomorrow morning we’ll be canvassing for the Phoenix Elementary Override, and we need all hands on deck!
We’ll meet at AEA (345 E. Palm Lane) at 8:00am.

The override is critical in our current financial climate — it helps fund the essential programs and supports our students rely on, including:

Smaller class sizes

Music, art, and PE programs

School counselors and nurses

Updated instructional materials and technology

Support staff positions that keep our schools running smoothly

Surrounding districts are joining forces to spread the word!

We’ll have gift card raffles, snacks, and plenty of fun, so come be part of the energy. Please register using this link so we can make sure we have enough supplies for everyone:

You don’t have to stay the whole time — even an hour makes a huge difference.
And don’t forget: the school/site with the highest percentage of members participating will win lunch from PECTA!

Thank you so much for being a member and for everything you do. We couldn’t do this without you.
