PACT
Similar to elementary school PTOs, PACT (Parents and Community Together) works to build a strong, inclusive community at MGMS. Every MGMS parent and caregiver is a member. The primary ways for parents/caregivers to make an impact include donations, volunteering and advocacy.
Next meeting: TONIGHT! October 15 @ 7-8 PM
Learn about events and initiatives happening at MGMS. Join us on Tuesday, October 15th from 7:00-8:00 PM in the MGMS Media Center or online.

Fundraising
The MGMS fall fundraiser ended Friday. We raised $21,235, just over our goal of $20,000. The sixth grade classes had the highest participation and raised the most funds. We look forward to sharing more about the celebration prize events next month!
A BIG THANKS to all of you who supported our students and teachers! Funds are used for MGMS service projects, social events, staff appreciation and classroom extras.
Volunteer Opportunities and Event Information
The Winter Wear Drive is coming up! From November 11th to the 15th, PACT and the student WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) group are asking for donations of new and used winter coats of all sizes, as well as hats, mittens and other cold weather gear. There will be drop off points at the school as well at other community locations.
We still need a parent lead for this important community service event. Please contact PACT President, Yara El-Emam, at yara.elemam@gmail.com for more details.
Volunteers are welcome and appreciated throughout the year! Check out an overview of events for this school year, and pledge your support today!
Advocacy
Learn about ISD 279’s 2024-2025 legislative priorities and contact your legislators to ask them to support the priorities you’re passionate about.
PACT Meetings
One of the best ways for parents and caregivers to know what’s going on at MGMS and positively affect the school is to attend a PACT meeting. PACT Meetings are held once a month (except March and December) from 7:00–8:00 pm. 2024 meeting dates are posted on the website. There is always an online attendance option; some meetings also occur in person.
