PTO Committees Information
No one PTO member can do it all! PTO committees are a vital part of the PTO at MPES and a great way to get involved at The Pond. Each committee has been established to plan, coordinate and execute the activities and events of the MPES PTO. Listed below is a description and timeline for each.
Many thanks to our hard-working MPES PTO chair-people who get it all done! Without you, the PTO isn’t possible!
