Please see below for some updates from the Pierce PTO!
Hello Pierce Families! 

We hope you've had a great start to the school year! 

The mission of the Pierce PTO is to support our students and staff throughout the school year with various enrichment activities and appreciation events. We plan to meet once a month with Principal Fish to discuss ways to provide resources for the school - ALL ARE WELCOME. 

Since this is an unprecedented year, we will not be doing a lot of fundraising -- we will be using our passive efforts to raise funds - the textile bins located behind the school, Stop and Shop A+, Amazon smile, Hayward Photography, the Fruit Center Shop for Schools, and the Toy Box gives back to MPS. 

There is also a community wide effort sponsored by all 6 PTOs to show our love for our schools -- The Apple Project. Please see the details below on how to get involved. 

If you would like to attend the monthly PTO meetings, please reach out via email to [email protected].

Michelle Cardoza, Lisa Weinstein, Kristin Dembowski ,Colin Delaney, Sarah Kate Feloney and new members Stacy Soloman, Lisa Trachtman and Bruce Long

In light of what's going on in the world, we wanted to do our part as a community to support the amazing MPS educators, administrators, students, and staff - introducing The MPS Apple Project!  

All six schools across the district have joined together to sell these signs in the hope that we will all hang them on our doors, stoops, fences, etc., to show our solidarity as a community during this unprecedented year and rally behind our schools - we will all get through this together!  

If you would like to purchase a sign for $20, please fill out the google form. 

All proceeds will be divided between the 6 schools to support our staff and students with various needs throughout the year.  

After you place your order, we will be in touch with pick up instructions.
