Thank You!

As we are making preparations for the end of a great school year, I would like to take a moment to thank all of our parent volunteers who helped us make this such a great year!  In particular, I feel compelled to mention the efforts of our PTO board, Bernadette Carr, Ellen Eisle, Dara St. Sauveur, and Meagan Meek.  Without them at the helm of the PTO, many of the great enrichment programs would not be possible.  They have also worked tirelessly to advocate for our students and to raise funds to "make our space a better place."  Thank you!

We are fortunate enough to have two great parents step up to take the helm of the S.S. PTO next year!  Bernadette and Ellen will be passing the baton off to Maria Schmidtt and Mechelle Brown as our new co-chairs.  Thank you to both of them for stepping up to help us out!  Our goal next year will be to increase parent participation in the PTO.  And dads...don't think you are in the clear!  We are kicking around the idea of a "Dad's Club."  This would be an opportunity for fathers to share their talents and resources as they work together on projects such as carpentry, landscaping, etc.  If you have ever thought about getting involved...this is the time!  Contact Mechelle, Maria, or myself if you are willing to join us in making MMES the BEST school possible!
