We will be hosting a Graduation Walk for our former Timberwolves who are graduating this year! Please see the details on the picture above. This is the same date and time of most ONW elementary feeder schools.

Please note:

- No arrival to MP before 1:45 PM

- We won't be able to accommodate visits to any classrooms

- Grads must have photo ID to enter the building

Due to space and security, we will not be able to allow parents into the building for his event. You may wait outside to greet them as they leave.

Excited to celebrate the success of these Timberwolves!!

Wednesday is a half day for students with dismissal at noon.

The 2023 MP Fit and Fun Day was a full day of fun! Rain can't keep Timberwolves down! Great thanks to PE teacher, Julie Dunnaway, for creating events that could were successful both outside and inside.

To avoid over puchasing for families, MP will provide a building supply list by grade level for the 2023-24 school year. I will send this out to all MP families in June.

Due to the excitement of these last few days of the school year, we will not be inviting families to join students for lunch this week.

Due to staff meetings, the MP front office will be closed Wednesday afternoon starting at 12:30 PM.

As we wrap up another school year, please make sure to view the items from Nurse Bev at the link below.

The quote by Gretchen Rubin, "The days are long but the years are short" could not be more true. Another year is in the books and we all sit here wondering where time went! As we reflect on the year at MP, we have so much to be thankful for. One of the goals of the PTO is to make your family's time in elementary school memorable, filled with parties, dances, and events for everyone. We couldn't meet this goal without all the help of the MP families both monetarily and voluntarily. Everyone has played a role in some way or another. Donating your time in planning an event or volunteering at an event, making a monetary donation, donating staff lounge snacks, teacher gifts, helping the students and teachers in the classroom and so much more.

Thank you for all you do and your help in making the MP community so unique! It takes a village and the MP village is strong! We hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing, and joyous summer!

With Gratitude,

MP PTO
