Do you have an idea that you want to help make real for school? We can’t wait to hear it. Join us at FOM! Be on the board, nominate another MMFA parent, co-lead an event or support a weekend activity.
This year, we will focus on several key areas:
Community Engagement: We plan to host events that brig families together, such as family nights, workshops, and social gatherings. These events not only strengthen relationships but also promote a sense of belonging within our school community.
Support for Teachers: We understand the significant impact teachers have on our students’ lives. The PTO will work to provide resources and support for educators, including funding for classroom supplies and professional development opportunities.
Fundraising Efforts: To enhance our programs and resources, we will organize various fundraising activities. Transparency in how funds are used is a priority, and we will keep families informed on how their contributions directly benefit our school.
Communication: We aim to improve communication between the PTO, parents, and the school administration. Regular updates will be shared via newsletters and social media to ensure everyone stays informed about upcoming events, initiatives, and volunteer opportunities.
Together, we can create a positive educational experience that supports our students' growth and success. We invite all families to join us in this journey, as your involvement makes a significant difference in our community. Let’s work together to enrich the lives of our children and elevate our school.
Do you know someone who would be great for projects or ideas at Magnolia? Or maybe that’s you? We’re looking for people who can connect others or have ideas to bring to life at school. We understand it can be tough to step up, even when you want to help. Sometimes we just need a friend to take the initiative. If you're interested in joining the board or want to suggest another Magnolia parent or guardian, please fill out the form below. We appreciate your recommendations!
