Please join us to discuss the future of Mill A PTO next Wednesday 06/18/25 at 6:00pm in the Mill A School Library or virtually with the Google Meet link below.
I will be resigning as PTO president and we will be looking for new leadership for the upcoming school year and beyond. If you have fresh ideas & are interested in taking on a leadership role in the future, we'd love to hear from you!
If we are unable to find anyone willing to commit to taking on a leadership role, we will discuss options for either shutting PTO down to maintenance level until another option is available, or ending it permanently.
Your voice & perspective is valuable, so please attend if you are able.
