Gen Member Meeting

9/13/2024 9:22 am

What an amazing turnout for the PTA General Membership Meeting. It was fantastic to see so many new faces among our familiar crowd. A huge thank you to everyone who was able to attend. If you miss it, or would like to review some of the information shared, here is the link to the slides. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

I'd also like to thank Geeta Paranjape, our VP Ways and Means, who I shamefully forgot to recognize at the meeting. Geeta stepped up to this role in the spring after our elections, when we thought no one would take the job. We are so grateful to her and pleased to have her as a valued member of our board.

Room Parents Wanted

It's the beginning of the year so you have probably heard your teacher asking for room parents. This is a great way to be involved in your child's classroom (meet classmates and fellow parents) and to help out your teacher and the PTA/MPE community. Some classrooms are still in need of room parents, so if you can help out please contact your child's teacher to ask!

What is a Room Parent?

A Room Parent is an amazing and appreciated parent volunteer who supports the teacher and is a communication medium between the PTA and parents of fellow classmates. There are optimally 2-3 room parents per classroom.

What does a Room Parent do?

This varies from grade to grade and from classroom to classroom. Tasks typically involve organizing:

sign-ups for the classroom (eg. Mystery Reader)
Learning Experiences (i.e. classroom parties with crafts and/or games and a snack)
collections for optional classroom gifts (teacher birthday, holiday, and/or end-of-year)

For the PTA, tasks include:

forwarding emails in a timely fashion
working with a team of room parents to build a raffle basket for carnival (approximately Feb/March)
coordinating your classroom parents to join in Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week activities (approximately Feb.)
helping your teacher submit yearbook photos

Why is a Room Parent important?

- All of our teachers could always use a bit of extra support even if it's something as simple as making a sign-up or making photocopies.

- The PTA can only get the word out through Panther Press subscribers and paper fliers. Forwarding timely emails (eg. yearbook purchase instructions and deadline, book fair e-wallet instructions) can really help communicate important dates and events to the whole MPE community.

If you would like to volunteer as a room parent, please let your teacher know then come to our Room Parent Training Session on Thursday, Sept. 26th at 9AM in the cafeteria. If you are a veteran Room Parent, feel free to come to the session to meet fellow room parents and have some snacks. Questions? Please email president@millsparkpta.com
