We had a great turnout for the First PTA of the ’20-’21 school year. Thank you to everybody who turned out and who stepped up to volunteer. This year is going to challenge us in unique ways but with all of the support I saw last week – I am so confident that we can meet whatever comes our way head on! With that, please meet this year’s MTMS PTA Board:

Seth Shikora, President

Rebecca Morris, Vice President

Jodi Tanner-Tell, Secretary

Rebecca Hoffman, Treasurer

Jennifer New, Treasurer Elect

Jon Holt, Equity Chair

Sarah Nuttbrock, Communications Chair

Charlene McGee, Trail Blazers Fundraiser Chair

Sabina Haque, Art Poster Fundraiser Chair

While I am sure there will be much to report over the coming months, please find below some of the easy ways to support your PTA by just doing what you do every day.
