LAST DAY TO DONATE IS WEDNESDAY 5/21!

** DONATIONS SOUGHT FOR PRIZES FOR GRADUATING SENIORS **

The Rincon PTA has a recent tradition of celebrating our graduating Seniors with a prize drawing at their Senior Breakfast celebration. This is accomplished through the generosity of our Ranger family that donates items or money for prizes.

So, we look to our Ranger family (of all eras) to bless these students with items that these young adults can use in the next chapter of their lives. Think dorm items (bedding, dorm size refrigerators, microwaves, stick vacuum cleaners, bath organizers, rice cooker, laundry bag/supplies, etc.), gift cards (gas, grocery, Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.), bicycles, etc.

To help with some ideas, we have complied a suggestion list on Amazon. Link below:

If you choose to order items from the list, you can have them shipped directly to the school if you wish c/o Rincon High School PTA-Melanie Shult, 421 N Arcadia, Tucson, AZ 85711.

If you’d rather take advantage of a local retailer’s sale and get something to donate for our seniors, the item can be dropped off at the Rincon school office, marked attention of the office manager, Tina Rowe.

Money donations are also greatly appreciated if you’d rather help that way. Donations may be tax deductible (Rincon PTA is a 501(c)3). Donate online at:

Thank you for considering supporting our graduating Seniors. Your love and support are invaluable!

Go Rangers!

We've received some donations from a local family but we REALLY need more items so that more of our Seniors can get a chance at taking home something special during their Senior Breakfast. Please consider donating something that a college student or young adult going out on their own can use. Thank you!!
