TV Raffle Tickets

Join the PTO and receive 1 raffle ticket towards a 42″ Insignia Plasma HDTV!  Better yet, for every $10 donated to the PTO through the Fall Fundraiser, you’ll get another raffle ticket.  Together we’ll raise funds for a new computer lab and one lucky winner will go home with a fabulous new TV just in time for the holidays!  TV winner will be announced at Bingo on December 3rd.

Think of it…if each of the 560 families at MVES donated $50, we’d have $28,000 towards the $34,000 we need for new computers.  Talk about putting a dent in it!

Membership:It Starts with You!

Bottom line is that the more members we have, the better school we have.  We need your ideas, talents, volunteer hours, and donations to create a successful PTO that helps reach the high goals we have set at MVES.   No individual has all of the answers, but collectively, we’ve got it all.

JUMP IN!

Join the MVES PTO and be part of the excitement.  Family membership dues are only $15 for the school year.  It’s an easy investment that goes a long way.  The money we collect through dues and the Fall Fundraiser enable us to sign contracts for large events, pay for assemblies and counseling initiatives, give back to teachers through supplies and Scholastic educational materials, financially improve encore programs, raise the academic bar, and so much more.
