What is PTA? How Can I Help Build Our MME Community?
We are a parent teacher organization. Our main goal is to create a community at our school so that everyone feels valued and welcome. We do this by hosting fun events, and fundraising to provide extra things for our school. The PTA is an organization of MME parents that fundraises and finances many of the extracurricular and classroom programs to benefit all students at MME. To be effective, we need MME parents to volunteer. In recent years the PTA has provided:
- All School Field Trips (100% PTA funded except Walker Creek)
- Classroom/Teacher support to fund supplies for teaching
- Literacy Programs such as Círculo (books and prizes)
- Books for the main library and classroom libraries
- Family Activities (movie nights, dances, craft nights)
- Teacher Appreciation (lunches and small appreciation gifts)
- Campus Beautification and Gardening
The PTA is able to do this and more through fundraising efforts, the work of dedicated volunteers, and PTA memberships—which are open to parents, teachers, grandparents, and anyone interested in supporting the MME community.

What does PTA Pay For?
PTA funds things that our families think are important! PTA sets out budget based on the money that has been donated the previous year, and we use that funding for needs at our school.
Where does PTA money come from?
The money that the PTA uses to fund the needs of our school come from many varied sources. . The main donation source is our annual auction. We have no auction planned this year (we need volunteers to lead the auction), which will affect next year’s budget hugely.
How can I find out more about what PTA does and how to support events and fundraising? Do I get to help decide how PTA money is spent?
We need your help! If you are part of the PTA, you can join committees to help plan how PTA funds should be spent. You can come to a PTA meeting, or email us questions at mmekids@gmail.com. We are happy to talk about what we fund, and why we feel it is important. PTA fills the gaps that we wish were covered in public education, but aren’t. We welcome more parents to join us in making these decisions!
