President's Message

It was so much fun seeing grandparents this past week! The kids loved having them visit and showing them around the book fair. Thank you to all of those who volunteered. We couldn't have done it without you.

We are so excited about our upcoming Mother & Son Night on October 10th. See below on how to get your tickets.

Our GrizzFest fundraiser planning is underway. We are looking for donated auction items. See below for details.

Please take a moment to update your mgepta.org account and choose their current teacher. This will be the way that homeroom parents and PTA will communicate to you.

Don't forget, the kids don't have school on Friday. Happy 4 day week!

– Kendra Nguyen, PTA President

GrizzFest, to be held on Friday, November 8th, is MGE PTA's largest fundraiser that includes carnival games, inflatables, a DJ, a silent auction, raffle baskets, food and lots of fun. Proceeds will be used to support our students in the classrooms and enable funding for the many PTA programs we provide.
