Welcome Parents & Families to Mission Hill
2018-2019 PTA Officers and committee leads
The PTA is more than meetings. We need help from parents in many ways including building a garden box, helping check out sports equipment during lunch, chaperoning dances and other events onsite which can be creative work or just moving heavy boxes. All help very much appreciated by Mission Hill students and families.
Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month in the Library. Everyone is welcome - we hope to see you there!
First meeting of the 2018-2019 school year will be Tuesday, September 11, 2016, 6:30-7:30pm.

•Hospitality plans and delivers breakfast for teachers ~5/6 times a year….from August through May. Coordinate with the principal and her assistant, regarding best dates. They put them on the calendar and make announcements that morning. I tended to do alternate bigger breakfasts with a smaller coffee/bagels one.
