FRESHMAN / SOPHOMORE PARTY PLANNING KICKOFF MEETING

MHS PTA needs parents/caregivers help to plan an unforgettable Freshman/Sophomore Party! We are looking for eight parents/caregivers volunteers to assist with the planning process, which includes designing the menu, creating a theme, and collaborating with the student event planning committee. We will meet approximately five times before the event (Date TBA). Please sign up for a committee and join us for the planning kickoff meeting on February 3, 2025 at 7:30 PM.

If you cannot join the planning committee but would still like to volunteer at the party, that’s great! We will have a sign-up for volunteers in March. Thank you in advance for volunteering!
