Please click HERE to complete the MOY MMES Community Survey

We are hoping for a 50% response rate, currently 31 people have responded. To entice community members we are offering lunch to any teacher who meets the 50% threshold. We are determining 50% as number of students divided by 2. We would like each parent or community member to complete the survey and need your help to do so. We will share results on Wednesdays. 

The MMES Yearbook team would love an additional volunteer to help edit this year's yearbook. An ideal candidate would be comfortable with both book design software and photography organization/layout. Please contact moreheadpta@gmail.com if you are interested!
