We are grateful to all the parents who have volunteered their time to be a part of the next Executive Board!! Your dedication to MES will have a lasting impact on the students and faculty for years to come! There are many, many other opportunities to be involved with PTA beyond the board. Please keep your eyes open for volunteer / committee opportunities.

Last week, the MES PTA Nominating Committee was elected and installed. The three committee members are in the process of contacting all those who submitted a nomination form to be considered for the 2022-2024 PTA Executive Board. The Nominating Committee will then create a slate of nominees (one for each position) to be presented via the MES PTA website on or before April 18, 2022. This slate will then be voted on by the General Membership at the May 18th PTA Meeting. If a current PTA member would like to run for a position from the floor, they must submit a letter of intent to run to the Nominating Committee Chair at least 20 calendar days before the election meeting held on May 18th. Once elected, the new PTA Board will officially be installed on July 1, 2022. Please contact Mary Ann Mogell (Nominating Committee Chair) with any questions - mare.mogell@gmail.com
