President's Message

Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend! 

We had our first PTA General Membership meeting last week and it was wonderful to see so many new faces! Thank you for coming!

Our first fundraiser of the year is almost here! Sign Up Parties will go live next Sunday, 9/13 and will be open until 9/27. These are group experiences offered at MGE or hosted by MGE families and local businesses and you can buy a ticket to participate in the fun! Money raised from sign up parties goes towards purchasing hands on learning materials for the science lab and other PTA programs. We have parties for kids and adults alike and tickets are first come/first serve with limited spots! 

Save the Date! This year the MGE PTA is hosting it's first ever Parent Party & Auction on April 2nd and we are so excited! Help us plan an incredible adult only event and let us know if you plan to attend through our quick survey and we'll send you a link to grab your tickets one week before ticket sales open. Limited spots are available!

Career Day is a special day for kids and adults alike, but in order to make it a success we need more volunteers. Please consider signing up to participate in Career Day on October 2nd. Please click here to sign up or contact Trey with questions! 

The Book Fair starts next week and we need your help to make it a success. Please sign up here to volunteer!
