Martha Lake Elementary PTA

In case you missed it, the PTA was honored to recognize three amazing individuals who have made a lasting impact on our school community. Congratulations to our Outstanding Educator, Kerry Strong, Outstanding Advocate, Juan Galvez, and Golden Acorn recipient, Gretchen Durrschmidt. Thank you for all you do. Our school is better because of you! 💙✨

🎡 Carnival Update 🎡

Due to limited volunteer capacity, the PTA has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's annual Carnival.

While we're disappointed not to bring this event to our school community this year, we're incredibly proud of everything we have accomplished together.

A huge thank you to the volunteers, families, staff, and community members who helped make this year such a success. Thanks to your support, our students enjoyed:

🍂 Fall Festival
🍿 Popcorn Days
✨ Glow Dance
🎨 Craft Night
🎲 Bingo Night
🎬 Movie Nights
👟Upcoming Fun Run!

And so much more!

We're also grateful to everyone who attended events, supported fundraisers, shared ideas, and helped create a welcoming school community throughout the year. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm made these events possible and created lasting memories for our students.

Thank you for a wonderful year of connection, fun, and community. ❤️ We look forward to continuing to support our students and families in the year ahead.

The PTA wishes everyone a safe, fun, and relaxing summer! ☀️🌈🍉

Let's try this again! 😂

Fun Run is Friday!!! Online donations are due Wednesday. Get them in quick! There's still volunteer spots open for both primary and intermediary. Come see our Mustangs hustle!

Field day is upon us again! We need volunteers to run each station and activity to make this event happen. If you are available, we would love your help! We have 3 different shift options available.
