A Message from the PTA President
Here we are…halfway through the school year! The last few months have been fun with the holiday shop, FIBO art workshops, Fit-a-thon prizes, and a great PTA association meeting! We still have another book fair, our 2nd annual family dance, and teacher appreciation week coming up in the next couple of months. We’d love your participation and support! Please reach out via email if you’d like to be a part of what’s going on at MacArthur!
​
If you haven’t joined PTA yet, you can still join us in our efforts to provide programs that enrich our students’ educational experience. We’re not far from our goal of 100% participation, but need your help to get there. Please ask family and friends to join MacArthur PTA! Remember that you can join online or pick up a membership form on the table outside the office.
​
Please mark your calendars for our next Association Meeting, Tuesday, March 24th! At this meeting we’ll be electing our PTA Executive Board for the 2020-2021 school year, as well as making plans for the family dance. You won’t want to miss it!

Sincerely,
Meghan Brearley
