It is the last week of January! There was a lot of excitement from the neighborhood kids this week with the arrival of winter weather. Although the snow did not stick around for long, it was thoroughly enjoyed in my backyard and neighborhood. This week as been busy with end of quarter work and projects. My student is marveling in the fact that he is halfway through the school year!
The coming weeks are full of school activities and that is also true for the MTMS PTA. We have been eagerly awaiting some Restaurant Partners to be ready to participate in fundraising activities, and we finally have some opportunities to share with the MTMS community.
