The PTA is a group of parents, caregivers, and teachers who work together to support our students and strengthen our school community. We plan events, raise funds, and create opportunities for families and staff to connect. If your child attends MELS you are automatically a member of the PTA!

The school handles academics and daily operations. The PTA focuses on community-building, fundraising, and providing extra resources that enrich student life.

Not at all. The PTA is about community, not expertise. If you want to be involved, there’s a place for you.

Yes! There are many ways to take on leadership and help shape the direction of the PTA. We are currently looking for grade leaders and committee chairs. 

We host family-friendly events like our Winter Whimsical, picture day, Valentines Day pop up shop, parents wellness nights, end of the year BBQ and more! 

PTA funds are used directly to support students, teachers in our school community. This includes classroom supplies, field trips, enrichment programs, teacher appreciation and student intensives. This also includes teams and student groups including:  PAL, MELS Speaks, Theatre, Music recitals, Battle of The Bands, 8th grade passages, Senior dinner, grade specific needs and various affinity groups. 

Yes! Even contribution of time or resources make a difference. Whether it’s baking for an event, making a donation, or purchasing from our Amazon wish every bit counts.

Our meetings minutes are shared at the beginning of every meeting. You can also request them via email. We communicate through newsletters, email, and our website. All meeting dates, events, and updates will be shared across these platforms. To stay up to date follow us on Facebook and Instagram. 

Please do! The PTA is parent and caregiver - led, so your voice matters. Reach out to us directly, or bring it up at a meeting.
