About

Welcome to the MME PTA!

The MME PTA supports our school through a variety of activities and events throughout the year. There are many ways you can get involved- from volunteering as available, making donations, heading a committee or joining the board!! The variety of talents and generosity of our parents make MME a great community. Thank you for your support!


  • Teacher & Staff Appreciations: We recognize over 180 teachers and staff members throughout the year through 8 district appreciation weeks and 5 large staff appreciation meals.

    • How You Can Help:

      • Volunteer Sign Ups- Watch for sign ups for events. Most include item donations (side dishes, soda, napkins, etc.) Some events include shifts to come in and help with set up, etc.

      • Gift Card Donations: We will be having a gift card donation drive in April to support our efforts! Gift cards can be in the amount of $10 and for Target or Amazon (use Amazon Smile!) Thank you for your support! Donations can be dropped off at the Main Office or you can make a donation online. Of course, donations of any kind are accepted throughout the year in our webstore.

      • Restaurant/Business Connections?- Do you own a restaurant or business? Or, do you have a local connection? We are always looking for generous donations or discounts to help make our appreciations better and more affordable!


  • Parent Meetings: We coordinate 6+ meetings for parents to keep everyone in the loop, as well as to provide valuable resources & information.

    • Parent Meetings: First half and year end updates from Mr. Dymit to keep a pulse on what is happening at MME. Open forum for questions & answers.

    • Guest Speakers: 4 Guest Speaker meetings to provide information on topics relevant to our community.

    • How You Can Help:

      • Attendance- Mark your calendars and plan to attend these important meetings. The perspective and questions each parent brings help everyone in our community.


  • Fundraising: The PTA helps to raise funds to support needs that would otherwise not be met. These include appreciations, student events and community needs. We strive to be respectful of varying financial situations and do not ask for more than we need. We generally plan 1-2 large fundraisers, as well as have a variety of wonderful smaller opportunities - including a book fair, school supplies and more!

    • How You Can Help:

      • Participation- Our goal is to always make it possible & fair for every family to participate, regardless of financial situations. From small donations to large- every family participating in some way makes a difference. For more information on fundraising and the breakdown of fund spending, visit our fundraising page.


  • Tonka Pride & MME Spirit: We support Tonka Pride through a variety of MME and District apparel and gear sales events. We work with MME staff and the student spirit club to assist with MME Spirit days.

    • How You Can Help:

      • Participation- Many of the spirit days are announced on the PTA calendar ahead of time. Some are organized by students and announced throughout the year. Encourage your student to participate!

      • Volunteer Sign Up- Tonka Pride sales events are easy and fun! Look for sign ups throughout the year to help out.


  • Student & Community Events: We plan and run 2 large student parties, help coordinate back to school & spirit days, grade level events, and special leadership or student events.

    • How You Can Help:

      • Volunteer Sign Ups- Look for sign ups for events and needs. Back to School and Student Parties especially need lots of volunteers!! These events are a great way to see students in action. The events are fun – and parents are in the background, as students have freedom to move around.


  • District Support: We have a variety of positions that support district wide initiatives. From Dream Makers to Tonka Serves – there are many ways you can get involved.

    • How You Can Help:

      • Volunteer Sign Ups- Look for sign ups for different ways you can volunteer for special events. Most of these sign ups are for a specific time commitment.

      • Participation- Many events have attendance or participation as the “ask.” Consider what events make sense and interest you. Many events allow you to meet fellow MME or Minnetonka District families and are a great way to get involved and meet new people!


  • Volunteering: In addition to the many volunteer activities and events noted above, we help coordinate additional volunteer needs during the school year - everything from media center support to school sponsored events. Check out our volunteer page for the latest opportunities.
