VOLUNTEERS NEEDED / PTA NOMINATION COMMITTEE

MHS PTA needs four (4) volunteers for this year’s nomination committee. The committee will work to identify candidates to fill MHS PTA Executive Board seats for the 2025-26 school year as officers’ terms of service expire. YOU can be a crucial voice in shaping the PTA. No experience needed and this only requires a few hours of your time over the next few weeks.

Please email ptapres@mhs-pta.org if you are interested in serving on this committee.

SVPA PRESENTS MAMMA MIA!

Come sing along with SVPA ‘s spring production of Mamma Mia! Mamma Mia! will run for two weekends, May 9th, 10th, 16th and 17th at 7:00pm, and on May 11th at 3pm in the Little Theater. Tickets are on sale now – get yours before they are sold out!

This performance will showcase the amazing work of our student designers, technicians, musicians and performers. The show promises to be a fun-filled musical experience for everyone – from ABBA fans to those who love a heartwarming story and a night out with friends!

PROM COLLECTION / PLEASE DONATE!

Prom season is here! Volunteers have placed a box in MHS main office for families to donate the following:

• Women’s dresses, shoes and jewelry
• Men’s shirts, suits, tuxes, ties, bow ties, cummerbunds, and shoes
• Don’t have anything to donate? Then make a donation so our students can purchase items!
  Please Venmo your donation to Harriet Salem (@Harriet-Salem) and note “Prom Collection donation”.

All collected donations will be set up at the Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair (53 Norwood Ave., Montclair, NJ. 07043) where the kids can “shop” and try on the items on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25, between 3:00-5:00pm.

If those times do not work, please message Harriet Salem (713) 291-7031, and she will make arrangements to open the church, when it is convenient.

As the Senior Prom nears, there will be more times to visit the donation shop at the church.

MHS CLUB & TEAM ANNOUNCEMENTS

• MHS Band/Chamber Ensemble & Concert Band are fundraising to raise $40,000 to replace broken instruments that are over 40-60 year old. Please make your donation via Venmo (@mhsinstrumental).
• Montclair has a talented, energetic group of 35 young musicians who are taking the Mighty Mounties Marching Band back to the field! These students are working hard at practice and performances multiple days per week, but they need new uniforms, instruments, instrument repair, field equipment, and music. Help the Mighty Mounties Marching Band build community and make music. Donate today!
