Simpson Silent Auction - Seeking Donations

We are actively seeking donations for the Simpson Silent Auction and would appreciate your help!

Need a donation idea? Here are a few that are always "hot" sellers:

  • Tickets to a professional sporting event or popular show or concert.
  • Got a get-away? Donate your vacation home for a weekend or week stay.
  • Artist in the family? Donate a painting, sculpture, pottery, photograph....
  • If you have a special talent (knitting, cooking, gardening, etc.) consider offering a "101" class to a small group.
  • Put together a theme basket - sports, books, beach, tools, movie night, etc.
  • Member of a golf club? Donate a round of golf for a pair or foursome.
  • Have a favorite restaurant in the area? Donate a gift certificate or better yet, ask them to!

This is also a great opportunity to advertise your businesses. All donations are tax deductible. Proceeds from the event will benefit the many important programs and services provided for our students, teachers, and families by the Simpson Middle School PTSA.

Please email silentauction@simpsonptsa.org If you can help or have any questions. Thank you for your support!

General Membership Meeting

General Membership Meeting
Please join us on October 10th at 6:30PM for our General Membership Meeting in the Simpson MS theatre.  The item on the agenda includes an amendment to our existing bylaws (Link to our current bylaws).  See the Bylaws notice.  At this meeting, we will ask our Members to vote on the proposed bylaws amendment.  

Everyone is welcome, however, only 2023/24 PTSA members can vote.  Not a current member?  Annual dues are $7.00/member.  Help us reach our 100% membershi  goal by joining today.

BYLAWS AMENDMENT NOTICE 7.23.23

Our Simpson PTSA would like to amend our bylaws to increase annual dues for individual members from $7 to $10.  This change is due to GA PTA raising the amount of our dues sent to the State, a proposed National PTA dues increase, and an increase in the cost of programming and supplies.  The new $10 membership will put us in line with the majority of schools in ECCC PTA and East Cobb.  It also ensures that more of your membership dues stay with Simpson PTSA so we can continue providing programs and events our students, families, and faculty rely on.
