Please consider helping our community by volunteering for or donating to MPE's Nourishing Noggins program!
 
This program provides MPE students with bags of nutritious food to take home each weekend and boxes of food and hygiene items to take home over the winter and summer breaks.  

 

1. Volunteer: We are looking for volunteers to take on the weekly food bag preparation through the end of the school year. We are also looking for various groups (Girls/Boy Scouts, Y! Guides, sports teams, etc.) or individuals to donate and pack food for one week.  The NN program will cover the cost of remaining food items if your group cannot donate all the items that go into the weekly bags. If you are signing up individually to buy/pack bags, Nourishing Noggins will reimburse you for 100% of the food cost.  The total food cost should be < $150.

 

Sign up for a week's bag packing HERE!

 

2. Donate: Any donation amount is greatly appreciated. We are a 501(c) charitable organization – all donations are tax deductible.

 

To donate: go to https://www.nourishingnoggins.org/ > Donate

 

Or make checks payable to 'Nourishing Noggins' and drop them off at the front desk at MPE with ATTN: Nancy Stavrakakis on the envelope.

 

  

 

 

 

Mrs. Stavrakakis will have a Middle School Transition Meeting for 5th grade parents on March 5th 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm at Mills Park Elementary in the Media Center. She will send more information shortly via email.
