PTSA President’s Message

 

August 2008

 Welcome back to all returning students and families and a special welcome to all of you that are new to Meadowbrook Middle School. I look forward to working with some wonderful parents on our 2008-2009 MBMS PTSA Board.  Thank you for taking on this responsibility.

 

In your registration packet is a PTSA membership flyer and envelope.  We need your help and support!  Please take a moment to join our PTSA.  When you join, you not only support MBMS, but support the PTA at the state and national levels. 

 

Today’s schools, families and communities want stronger parent involvement, improved school quality and increased student success.  We can do this by working together and building successful partnerships.

 

The mission of the California State PTA is to represent our members and to empower and support them with skills in advocacy, leadership, and communication to positively impact the lives of children.

 

I urge you to join the Meadowbrook Middle School PTSA.

 

We can’t do it without you!
