ABOUT THE MES PTA
So many of the wonderful programs and initiatives at our school would not be possible without the support of our MES Parent Teacher Association (PTA), and we need your input.
Student favorites like Monster Bash, Family Science Night, and the Book Fair, are key focus areas for MES Parent Teacher Association (PTA), as well as teacher appreciation, classroom technology, educational grants, and so much more.
Joining our vibrant parent and teacher community is simple and affordable, with annual memberships ranging from $5 to $20. Learn more about volunteering opportunities and how you can get involved with us here!
