Wheew….Your MCES PTA has been busy planning and working hard. October is filled with PTA sponsored events. As you may have heard or seen, the Monster Book Fair is up and running in the Learning Commons. If you are available this week, to volunteer we could use your help. To find a shift that will fit your schedule go to http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f054ba8a92c7-monster1
In addition to the book fair, be on the look out for info on our Annual Food Drive, discount on State Fair Tickets, update on the K-2 playground renovation, and much more.
To run all these fabulous programs we NEED your help! While we have core of great volunteers, we could always use more friendly faces. Did you know the book fair is open every day from September 24-October 7, including 4 family events before/after school? It takes many hours and volunteers to make this fundraiser successful.

(Please no GLASS PRODUCTS or EXPIRED FOODS). Our goal is to fill up Mrs. Parrish's entire office and make our largest donation yet to help our neighbors, friends, and family in the Holly Springs community.
Would you like to help? We need volunteers to receive and stack donations for a short time in Mrs. Parrish's office each morning of the food drive (8:00 to 8:45/9:00AM) and on Friday, Oct. 30th for Donation Pick Up.
