President's Message
Whew….it has been a very busy fall for PTA. We have hosted various events including Monster Book Fair, Reflections Art Contest, GoPlaySave, Spiritwear sales, Tea and Tissues, several general PTA meetings, agenda and recorder sales, School Store, Spelling Bee (still in progress), teacher grants and more…
We are looking forward to the 2016 year! Look for the K-2 playground renovation information coming soon. The Father/Daughter Dance will be February 5th from 7-
9pm ~ Mark your Calendars! There are many exciting ways to be involved in MCES
and your PTA.
MCES PTA is looking for a Corporate Sponsorship team. We are looking for individuals who can help solicit donations from corporate sponsors for MCES PTA. With this team effort, MCES PTA is looking to find donors who are willing to support our school in various areas, including help rebuilding our K-2 playground and supporting various academic programs and activities sponsored by our MCES PTA.
If you would like to help build our Corporate Sponsorship team, please contact
Heather Lynch at mcespresident@gmail.com or 425.922.6524.

Shop. Eat. Middle Creek!
What do we all do best this time of year? SHOP and EAT!! So let’s put our skills to use and earn money for our school doing just that! Starting this coming weekend -- Sunday, 11/29 - Saturday 12/5, you can shop at the Five Below store in Crossroads Plaza for an ENTIRE WEEK of shopping with a portion of sales going to our school. This is perfect for finding Secret Santa gifts, stocking stuffers, gifts for our Middle Creek Holiday Helpers Program, or simply gifts for all ages at a great price! Everything in the store is priced $1-$5! If you're shopping in the evening that week, we also encourage you to take a break and get food at Jason's Deli or Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. These Crossroads Plaza restaurants will also donate a portion of the cost of your meal to our school, BUT you have to bring in coupons to make it count! Your child will be bringing home a flyer with coupons tomorrow in their backpack. OR click on the link below to print out your own coupons. We encourage you to visit these locations and use as many coupons as you’d like!
Click HERE to download the coupon, or visit the PTA website.
So mark your calendars for the Sunday after Thanksgiving to kick off the week of Shop. Eat. Middle Creek!
Congratulations to our Super Spellers!
