    Committee Needs

    • The PTO is looking to organize planning committees for the following events; Trunk or Treat, Dances, Teacher/Staff Appreciations, Fundraising, Purse Bingo/Basket Raffle 
    • Being a part of a committee is a great way to make a big impact and stay connected to our school. Someone from the board can still assist committees as needed, but you have the chance to execute ideas and events with a small team of people. Many hands make light work is our motto this year!  

    If any of these committees catch your attention please email us at Mountville.PTO@gmail.com.
