Yearbook News

A big year, a big celebration! Don’t miss out on the 20th Anniversary edition of the MGE Yearbook! It will be full of photos from throughout the year, as well as some "throwback" photos from the last 20 years. Our Yearbook team is already hard at work building a 160+ page keepsake that your student will cherish for years to come. The price will increase throughout the year, so be sure to order your copy today to lock in the lower price.Order today so you won't regret it in May! Can't remember if you've already bought a book? Check the Jostens site to look up your order.

Spirit Wear

If you placed a spirit wear order in August and have not received your items, this means that your size was out of stock and has been ordered on our second and final order. That order was placed early September and should arrive by the end of the month and will be delivered to classrooms once they are here and sorted!

We have a very limited number of remaining sizes in inventory in our spirit wear closet. As a reminder, there will be no more orders placed for these designs – when they’re gone, they’re gone! The limited quantity inventory has been added to the school store for your shopping at www.mgepta.org/store. Online orders will be delivered to your child’s classroom within one week of placing the order.

Thank you for your support!
