Week of Dec. 14th – 18th

inter Break is upon us. On one hand, it does not seem like this is possible. On the other hand, it feels like this break could not come soon enough. The PTA has had a busy few weeks fundraising and supporting the MTMS community. We partnered with the truly fantastic MTMS school counselors to raise funds to support school families that need some extra assistance over the Winter Break. With all YOUR help and monetary support we were able to raise $13,248.00!!! We can not thank everyone enough for their dedication to the MTMS community, from the PTA volunteers to the school counselors and most of all to those that were able to donate, we appreciate all of you.

Right on the heels of the Winter Break Families in Need Drive, we started the Dream Dinners Curbside Fundraiser. If you need to ease your way into the break from school, there is still time to order meals for the 9:00am-10:00am pick-up on Saturday, December 19th. The deadline to place an order online is Friday, December 18th at NOON. Perhaps your student(s) will need something to do over the break. Supply them with Dream Dinners to make for the family. All the shopping and meal prep is done by Dream Dinners, who also supply simple directions to cook the meals. For more information on this fundraiser, check out this PTA post https://mtmspta.com/2020/12/16/dream-dinner-fundraiser/.

Don’t forget, if you enjoy the dinners and use Dream Dinners again (which we hope you do), you can place a standard order within a week of the fundraiser and Dream Dinners will donate an EXTRA $20.00 back to the MTMS PTA. The pick up date for the meals can be any available time in December (limited options due to the holidays) or January. Look through the menus (below) and see what looks good.

Reminders:

The PTA has the blue bags for the BottleDrop program. If you need some bags for recycling, please email the PTA and put “BottleDrop Bags” in the subject line. We have been able to make arrangements to drop the bags off on porches and door steps in the MTMS area. mtmspta@gmail.com
