MPEPTA EVENTS

Every Autumn, the PTA holds several events to celebrate the season and fundraise for our elementary schools. Out of an abundance of caution, we have sadly decided to cancel the 2021 Trunk-or-Treat, Harvest Festival, and the Panther Bowl parent social.  Hopefully, we can reschedule the parent social in the Spring.  We are still considering the logistics of the Pumpkin Patch, so keep an eye on the eblast for details about that event as well as other upcoming virtual fundraisers!

Say Cheese!
We have a picture day scheduled for each cohort as well as all-virtual students (see the calendar above). More details will be announced soon!

PTA Welcome Party
Join us Thursday, October 1 and Friday, October 2 immediately after drop-off on Highland Field to meet other parents, learn about the PTA, and sign up for membership!

COMMUNITY NEWS

MPPEF 5K
The Midland Park Education Foundation is excited to announce we are moving forward with our annual 5k.  Please join us for our Midland Park VIRTUAL 5k this fall which will kick off on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at 9:00 am!  While we can’t all get together this year to run and cheer each other on, we can still work together to support the MPPEF.  We need your help now more than ever! 

The theme for this year’s VIRTUAL 5k will be MP Strong! We are all in this together — at a distance! In order to accommodate our participants’ busy schedules, runners (and walkers) can do their VIRTUAL 5k anytime Saturday, October 10, 2020 at 9:00 am through Sunday, October 11th at midnight.  

A VIRTUAL race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose.  You can run, jog, walk, or push a stroller. Choose where you run, your distance, and who you run beside — a friend, family members, or a furry companion.  Let everyone around town know you are participating in the Midland Park VIRTUAL 5k by dressing up to show your Panther Pride, or even breaking out your Halloween costume a few weeks early!  

In an effort to keep this VIRTUAL race exciting, we will be adding a few new fun things this year, including a VIRTUAL race kickoff via Facebook Live, a VIRTUAL online photo booth and photo gallery, and a costume contest! Learn more about the event at MPPEF.org
