Martin GT Magnet Middle School PTA

Hey Mustangs!

We need YOU to make the 8th grade dance a success!

We are looking for volunteers to help set up before the dance as well as clean up after. We are also asking for refreshment donations.

If you are able to help with either or both, sign up here:

Please join us for our final PTA general meeting of the 25-26 school year. For those of you who are current PTA members, your participation would be greatly appreciated for voting purposes.

8th Grade Families:

The 8th Grade Dance will be held on Friday, June 5 (6:30-8:30pm) in the Martin cafeteria. This year's theme as voted on by students is "Glow the Night Away." Admission is $10/student and can be purchased using the following link: https://martinmiddleschool.givebacks.com/shop/items/1187143

The deadline to purchase admission in advance is Thursday, June 4th. Admission can be purchased in person at the dance, however, if possible, we highly encourage online purchases. Purchase secures your student's admission to the dance. No physical tickets will be distributed, rather staff will have an admission list at the door.

🎓 Attention 8th Grade Families: Order Your Student’s Yard Signs Today!

A yard sign is the perfect way to celebrate your student's big achievement! The order deadline is Monday, May 18. All signs come with a stake and will be available for pick-up at the school the week of May 25-29. A member of the PTA will be in touch with more details about order pick-up once they arrive.

Sixth Grade Families,

We are looking for your help at our 6th Grade Greek Games Day next Friday, April 17. A newer tradition at Martin, we are taking on the Olympic challenge and creating an awe-inspiring experience for all Martin 6th graders. We need parent volunteers to make this vision a reality.

If you are able to volunteer in person to assist with outdoor activities, please fill out the sign up genius here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0B4DA5A92BA64-63065706-greek #/

In order to volunteer in person, parents must register with WCPSS here: https://myvolunteer.com/wcpss/volunteer/login

If you have any questions, please reach out to our AIG Teacher/Magnet Coordinator, Ms. Dalessio at [email protected]

Thank you for your time, talent and overwhelming support!

It is our hope that this will be a memorable experience for our students.

Note: Weather make-up day is Friday, April 24.

Mustang Madness is tonight, Thursday, March 19th from 5:30-8:00pm. There is no school for students on Friday, as it is a teacher workday.

All event passes and tickets purchased online or during lunch are being distributed today and tomorrow by homeroom teachers. Ticket envelopes not distributed will be available for pickup at the pre-purchased event entry table.

Below are additional details on how you can help us make the event run smoothly, ensure safety, and maximize your fun!

· If you have pre-purchased your entry band or are volunteering, please enter through the doors along Horton St. closest to the Counseling and Student Services offices (closer to flag poles).

· If you still need to purchase admission, please enter through the far set of doors along Horton St. closest to the cafeteria (at the end of the carpool line).

· Volunteers should report to the Volunteer Table located near the pre-purchase entrance prior to your shift to check-in. Please follow this procedure so we can ensure adequate coverage for all volunteer needs.

· Students performing in the auditorium should follow the arrival instructions provided by their teacher and will receive their event band at that time.

· All food/drinks will be located in the cafeteria and can be purchased using Food & Fun tickets.

· Additional Food & Fun tickets and remaining Mustang Maniacs t-shirts will be available for purchase in the ticket booth (located in the concession stand).

· For safety reasons, please refrain from parking in the fire lanes at the school.

The PTA’s Mustang Madness Committee, teachers, coaches, and students have been working hard to prepare for tomorrow's celebration, and we look forward to seeing all our families at the event.
