You are invited to our next MPPTSA meeting on Tuesday, May 7th, from 6:00-8:00PM in the MP library. We will discuss general business, next year’s budget, and hear report-outs from our teachers and administrators. Free childcare is provided by the YMCA. Please join us! Attending a meeting is a great way to learn if you’d like to volunteer to be on the PTSA board. You just might be the fit for our co-treasure (which can be done mostly from home), event planning (one, some, or all!), or even the visionary co-president to compliment our incoming president.
