Yard Goats Night! What better way to kick off the return to school than a MES PTO Yard Goats Night on August 20th at 6pm. Students will have the opportunity to hold the American Flag in the outfield. More information will be coming home later this year.

Opening Day: Parents, caregivers and even students decorate the sidewalk in front of the school and drop-off area with pictures and inspiring words to get the school year started on a fun note. Usually done the afternoon before the first day of school.

Visit your child's classroom, meet their teachers, and sign-up for your Parent Teacher Conference. Just don't get caught roaming the halls without a pass! :)

It’s a great opportunity to purchase quality-reading material for all levels. Books also make great holiday gifts.

Take a break from shopping and create your own sundae (held in conjunction with the Winter & Spring Book Fair).

Volunteers are needed to chair this event, as well as set up the book fair May 23rd from 8:30-12:00. The book fair will need volunteers to work the book fair beginning at 12 Monday through 3pm Thursday in 3-hour shifts and volunteers to take down the book fair Friday May 27th at 8:30am. Time slot postings will be forthcoming in sign up genius.

The Book Fair will be open Wednesday night for families to shop together and enjoy an ice cream social beginning at 6:00. Volunteers are needed to organize this event, promote it, order needed supplies and arrange volunteers. Every person will be able to receive one ice cream sundae free courtesy of the PTO.
