Mohegan Spring 2017 Newsletter
From the desk of Ellen Tuckner, Principal
I wanted to be sure to thank our amazing PTO for their stupendous effort in creating the 2nd Annual Spring Fling fund raiser. What a great night we all had- and the money that was raised will go to supporting and enhancing the education at Mohegan. Your support is an essential component in providing the children with the best possible learning experience. We are so grateful for all that you do every day as partners.
