President's Message

We are so excited to see grandparents this week! Please make sure they know the homeroom teacher name as it helps connect students with grandparents quickly.

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

Finally, 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.

– Kendra Nguyen, PTA President
