Dear Tompkins Family & Friends,
You're invited to...
"Expand Your Horizons" and join the Tompkins FFA Booster Club! Our club is a vibrant community of parents, guardians, Ag Advisors, alumni, friends, and local businesses, ALL dedicated to supporting our amazing Tompkins FFA students.
Your membership dues, time, and donation/fundraising efforts help to cover travel expenses for student competitions and leadership conferences & conventions as well as fund scholarships for our qualifying seniors. We also assist with FFA events and activities, purchase supplies/equipment for our barn and shop, provide snacks at various events, and support the KISD Livestock Show--including providing project signs for our FFA students, and so much more!
We meet monthly at the same time as the students' FFA meetings, guided by our Ag Advisors to address the chapter's greatest needs. Many of these listed expenses are not covered by school district funds, making your support crucial.
So...on a scale of Falcon to Platinum, how excited are you to join us in supporting our amazing Tompkins FFA students?
Membership Levels: Payment Options are also listed after submitting information online.
Falcon: $50 (new members receive a Pen Show Sign)
Bronze: $125 (Falcon, plus recognition on Tompkins FFA Website)

Gold: $500 (Silver, plus two Tompkins FFA short-sleeved t-shirts)
Platinum: $1,000 (Gold, plus recognition as a sponsor at fundraising events held this year).
We hope all of our Tompkins FFA parents are excited to get involved. While just your membership alone is a great support-- your time at our events throughout the year is also GREATLY appreciated!
We're excited for you to join us...looking forward to another great year!

* Volunteer Hours
Katy ISD requires all volunteers serving on or off-campus during or after the instructional day to register with the district through its Raptor security system. You can begin that registration process by clicking here. You will need to register (or re-register) each school year.
Volunteer hours may be submitted via the OTHS PTSA website. Both parents and students can submit volunteer hours.
Note #1: At Katy ISD, the Raptor check-in system is used to log your volunteer hours spent at the school if you indicate that you are volunteering when you check in at the front office.
Note #2: For more information related to the Raptor Volunteer System, click here. Additionally, the Raptor system does not track your off-campus volunteer hours. Click here then click on the "Volunteer Portal-Log Your Hours" link to record your off-campus volunteer hours. OTHS PTSA asks that this be done at least once a month...maybe set a reminder to do this just before or just after our Booster Club meeting each month! If you have any questions or problems with the Raptor system or forms, please contact the PTSA at volunteers@tompkinshsptsa.org
Note #3: Anything you do for any group in the school is counted. For FFA families, off-campus volunteer hours can include any time you've spent driving your child to and from the barn, as well as time spent at the barn, helping with the animals, booster club meetings, and of course any FFA related activity or event (or preparing for an FFA related activity or event such as shopping, cooking, painting, gathering auction items, etc.) Again, this must be time spent outside of regular school hours. These hours may be for any family member including the student.
