This week: October 5th – 9th

We have made it through the first month of school! It is hard to believe we are moving into the first full week of October. It feels like my household is starting to settle into the schedule and routine of distance learning. I hope this week finds you all adjusting to school-time routines. We all have certainly conquered a multitude of learning obstacles this last month.

PTA board members are meeting online this week and looking ahead into the school year. As you can imagine, the pandemic, social distancing, and the distance learning environment impact the PTA’s usual fundraising efforts. In this week’s meeting, the board plans to discuss fundraising options in our current social distancing environment. As we envision what this looks like and begin planning for various options, we look forward to sharing these with the MTMS community in the coming weeks and months.

There are some tried and true ways to support the MTMS PTA. First, please join us and become a member. Membership is $15.00 for the year. There is also a small online processing fee. You can sign-up and pay online at this link https://www.oregonpta.org/membership. MTMS PTA can also benefit from your shopping on AmazonSmile and at Fred Meyer. Please see the post from the Week of September 21st – 25th for more details about these programs https://mtmspta.com/2020/09/20/this-week-at-mtms-september-21-25/.

It looks like we will get a few more sunny days, before a string of rainy days moves in towards the end of the week. Enjoy the nice Fall days!
