Today, the TJPTSA Executive Board received and accepted the resignation of Bonnie Qin as TJPTSA President, effective immediately. We thank her for her service and wish her well.
Consistent with the bylaws of the TJPTSA, I am stepping up to serve as President. I am honored to have your support. I, along with the other members of the Executive Board, have worked very hard to save our TJPTSA and look forward to supporting our students, teachers and families, as a cohesive, productive organization.
We look forward to welcoming the incoming class of 2025 and making this next school year a wonderful experience for all.
