M-A Open House for 8th Grade Families: Interested in learning more about M-A?  Come to the Open House on Thursday, April 9, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m., starting in the M-A PAC. This is a great opportunity for families to meet 9th grade and elective teachers, gather information from a 9th grade Resource Fair, and learn about M-A's many programs. Information will be available about registration and address validation. For more information, please see the attached flyer. 

Attention 8th Grade Parents: M-A has required summer reading for all of its English classes. One service the M-A PTA provides is to make book buying easy; when you order through us, we get the books and deliver them directly to your child. If your child is going to attend M-A next year, you can use this form to purchase the summer reading books required for the class your child will take, or use the form that your student should have brought home this past week. If you wish to take advantage of this service, simply complete the form, calculate the amount owed, write a check for the toal made out to "M-A PTA", and return the form and the check to the Hillview office by Friday, April 10. The books will be delivered to your child's English class in approximately four weeks. We would also appreciate it if you would consider making a donation as well. The English department uses donations to purchase books and materials for M-A students. 

8th Grade Graduation Gown Orders Due May 1:  Click here to order your child's graduation gown by May 1! You may order a new one or request to borrow one. All 8th grade families should have received a letter outlining expectations for students as well as important information about the events leading up to and through Graduation night. Can't find it? This information can also be found on the website. 

Volunteers needed for the Are You In? Run for Education: On Sunday, May 31 over 3,000 Menlo Park and Atherton residents will slip on their running shoes and run/walk and cheer in support of quality education. Are you interested in being part of the fun but don't feel like walking or running?  Why not volunteer to help?  There are many support roles currently open including Course Monitors, Registration, Water Station Support, and Wellness Fair Support.  We also have positions available to help prepare for race day. To learn more about volunteer opportunities please contact David Korn.
