- Student Supplies (core-knowledge supplies, library books, literacy programs, etc.)
- Student Programs & Activities (assemblies, school socials, festival sports support, 8th-grade end-of-year celebration, etc.)
- Staff Support (conferences/continuing education, teacher appreciation, classroom supplies, grant requests, etc.)
- School Equipment (recess equipment, office supplies, nurse needs, etc.)
**Note: Volunteer hours are not required with your MTMS PTSO Membership.

Looking for a special treat or gift for your child’s teacher or other MTMS staff member? At the start of the school year, the PTSO surveyed the staff for a few of their favorite restaurants, drinks, etc. Take a look at the link below for a list of ideas!

Snack Shack Parent Volunteers
We are in need of parent volunteers to help out at the Snack Shack each day during the lunch period. This is a fun, easy way to help the kids and make a difference at MTMS! All proceeds from sales go back to programs and activities for students and staff at MTMS! Volunteers will be selling snacks & drinks during the school lunch period from 11:40 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Lunchtime is at the same time every day of the week, except early release days which are half days and there is no lunch period. For more information, visit our signup page here.
