Why join the MES PTA?

Because . . .

         Parents
        + Teachers_
          Success!

The goal of the MES PTA is to encourage parent and community involvement in the education, health and welfare of our students. We're not just about raising money - we're about parents and caregivers who have a vested interest in the success of our children's educational, emotional and social experience while at Mandeville Elementary School. Your support and involvement is the only way we can accomplish these goals.

Specific Goals for 2010-2011

In addition to our fundamental goals, the MES PTA has also set the following resource and beautification objectives, which we hope to achieve through our various fundraising efforts:

    1) Assist in purchasing classroom amenities;

     2) Improve and upgrade playground equipment as necessary;

     3) Support classroom technology upgrades and improvements.

Yearbook Cover Art Contest is in full swing! Students in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades are invited to create and submit a piece of artwork using this year's theme, "Roadtrip to Learning", to be used as the front and back cover art for this year's MES yearbook! Submissions are due by August 26th! Click on the Cover Art Contest Form for more info and the submission form. Good luck!

BOX TOP BONUSES! Even if the products you typically use don't come in packages with those cute little Box Tops on them, you can still help MES earn Box Top dollars! Just register at www.boxtops4education.com to receive contest alerts, coupons, recipes and more. No purchase necessary - all you have to do is enter!

OFFICE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We could use your help in the front office. Even a few hours a week or month would make a big difference. Please contact Kasey Pierce (kcpierce@bellsouth.net) at 504.615.1313 (cell) or 985.674.3767 (home) if you are interested.

Mandy Magnets are available! At just $6, they're a great way to show your MES pride! If you'd like one, just send a check in an envelope labeled PTA/Mandy Magnets. We'll send the magnet(s) home in your student's folder.

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS! The MES PTA has lots of exciting projects and events lined up for the 2010-2011 school year, all of which are only possible with your help and support! Please browse our site, especially the Volunteer Opportunities page, and consider helping out with one or more of our great events!
