Dear Greyhound Families,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Coffee with Mr. Mitchell and the Community PTO Meeting! We truly appreciate your time, participation, and the thoughtful conversations that help strengthen our Greyhound community.
February has flown by, and March is just around the corner — with so many exciting things ahead!
🥧 Spring Fundraiser: Greyhound Grade Pie Race: The Greyhound Grade Pie Race is officially underway! This one-week, grade-level fundraising competition gives each grade its own dedicated donation link on the PTO website. Families, friends, and community members can donate to support their favorite grade. The grade that raises the most money will earn bragging rights — and something even sweeter! Let the friendly competition begin!
🌯 Spirit Night – March 25th (4–8 PM): Mark your calendars! Our next Spirit Night will be at Chipotle on March 25th from 4–8 PM. Take the night off from cooking and join fellow MPVA families for great food and community connection.
🎭 NJHS Talent Show – March 6th: Auditions were held last week, and we are excited for the NJHS Talent Show on March 6th during 7th and 8th periods. Tickets go on sale February 23rd for $5 and will be available before school in holding areas and during lunch. The show is open to parents of performers. PTO volunteers are needed to assist with crowd support — come see the incredible talent walking our halls!
🎓 8th Grade Activities: We are quickly approaching the end of the year and celebrating our 8th graders! Please check Membership Toolkit for important updates and details. Reach out if you have any questions.
☕ Teacher & Staff Appreciation: A huge thank you to Cool Runnings for providing a wonderful lunch to celebrate our teachers on February 13th! This Wednesday, February 18th, Coffee Q will treat our teachers, administrators, and maintenance staff to coffee, with snacks available as well. We are grateful for our community partners who help us show appreciation to our amazing MPVA team!
💙 PTO Leadership Needs You!: Whether you're interested in a leadership role, joining a committee, or simply learning more about how the PTO supports our school, we would love to connect with you. Please reach out to me at president@mpvapto.com. Let’s talk about where help is needed, how you can make a meaningful impact, and how every bit of involvement strengthens our Greyhound community.
Warmly,
Naomi Doyle-Madrid
MPVA PTO President
