Fall Carnival Planning Meeting

Saturday, September 13, 2025

Love community events? Help us plan this year’s Fall Carnival! Join us for our first planning committee meet-up on the patio at Milagro Center.

All are welcome—no experience needed. Bring ideas and your fall spirit!

Play Chair Needed

Our school play is one of the most magical events we put on — a spectacular production open to all of our students, staged every other year. The committee already has an enthusiastic team in place… but we’re still looking for a chairperson to lead the way! No theater experience is required — just someone who’s organized, motivated, and ready to rally a great team. (Of course, a love of the theater is always a bonus!)

Interested? Email president@missionpta.org.
