Our walk-a-thon was a huge success!!! We hope the students enjoyed dressing up all week, trying new foods at our A-Z food stations, and watching the number of steps they took during the the walk-a-thon with their pedometers! Thank you to everyone that volunteered throughout the week, cheered on their kids at the event, and to our generous sponsors. We are excited to announce that student pledges and donations allowed us to raise over $5,000! We still have so many upcoming opportunities for students and parents to get involved! Our Homecoming Parade is only a few days away on September 27st followed by a month of fun activities! These events help parents and students build lifelong friendships with others in our school & community! None of our events would be possible without the generous community sponsors and individuals that support our school and PTO! Please take a moment to check out this year’s platinum, gold, and silver sponsors on our website and on the acknowledgements page of this newsletter. Better yet, please thank them for supporting our school when you visit their businesses! If you are aware of a company in our area that might be interested in supporting MTES PTO, please email [email protected]. We are actively seeking in-kind donations for our Fall Festival’s silent auction.
