All MES Staff are encouraged to join the Mokena PTA. The membership fee for staff is $15.00 for the school year. The PTA is very generous in donating funds and resources to all three schools in Mokena. Their website maintains an ongoing store where spiritwear can be purchased at any time.
The PTA offers the Mokena 159 staff grant monies to offset costs of items needed within the classroom that can aid in the education process for our students. Grant forms can be downloaded from their website.
I'd like to see at least 80% of MES staff become members of the PTA to support their ongoing efforts to support our school and district. Please consider becoming a member today!
