The PTA is seeking candidates for next year's Executive Board: PTA President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasurer. All parents and legal guardians of MCSM students are invited to nominate an MCSM parent or legal guardian as a candidate for any of these positions. You may also nominate yourself for one of these positions.

You may nominate yourself or another parent by attending the next PTA meeting at MCSM on Tuesday, April 17 at 6:00 in the school library. If you cannot attend the PTA meeting, you may contact Ms. Bozena Kopczynski at brk@ bozenaportraits.com or Alejandro Ramirez at alextus4303@aol.cokm or call the MCSM Parent Coordinator, Ms. Julia Valentin, at 347-563-5163.

Welcome, MCSM Parents!!

To all MCSM Parents, the PTA says welcome to our first website. In the next year or two, we hope to have a working PTA web page as part of the MCSM school website. For now, however, we will try using a web log, or "blog" as they call it, to provide you with easy and immediate access to information about our school, our students, and our PTA as well as new initiatives from the Chancellor's Office and how they might affect our school. With this blog, we can tell you about the agendas for upcoming PTA meetings and plans for PTA fund raising events. We can also give you information about activities in the school, such as student performances and awards celebrations, and we can provide you with explanations of issues that affect our school and our students, such as Title I and the Chancellor's initiatives for school reorganization and fair funding.

We will add new postings to this blog on a (hopefully) regular basis. Feel free to use the Comments feature to post your thoughts or ask questions. For anyone wishing to add their own posting, please send your article by email to Steve Koss at mathman180@gmail.com and he will review it for posting. We will not post submissions that contain complaints or personal attacks -- please confine your submissions to information that will be helpful to all MCSM parents.

Thank you. We hope you will find this blog helpful.
