📣 PTA Membership Update! 📣

We’re currently going through all of our PTA memberships and want to make sure we have everyone entered correctly on our master membership list! ❤️

If you signed up for a membership at Meet the Teacher but have not received a text message asking you to volunteer for an event yet, please send us a direct message so we can double-check that we have all of your information and that you’re on our list!

At Meet the Teacher, we had several parents fill out membership forms and either planned to send payment in with their student once school started or pay through Venmo. We did receive quite a few of those payments, but there are still a handful of memberships where we have not received payment.(therefore those members have not been added, and they would have not been contacted yet.)

So, two important things:

1️⃣ If you signed up for PTA and haven’t been contacted about volunteering yet, please reach out to us! We want to make sure you’re included and that we didn’t miss anyone.

2️⃣ Moving forward, we will no longer be accepting Venmo payments for PTA events or memberships. Unfortunately, PTAs are not permitted to have their own Venmo account. We offered Venmo as a convenience, but it has ultimately become confusing for us to keep track of payments and make sure everything is properly accounted for.

We appreciate everyone who has joined, volunteered, donated, and supported NMES PTA! Your support makes such a difference for our students and school, and we want to make sure we’re doing our part to keep everything organized and accurate.

If you think you may have signed up but haven’t heard from us, please send us a DM! 💙💛

We’re excited to share our first 2026 PTA newsletter! We’ll do our best to keep these coming throughout the school year so you can stay up to date on all the PTA happenings, upcoming events, fundraisers, volunteer opportunities, and more. We hope this helps keep everyone in the loop as we race through another great school year!

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday to our amazing principal, Mrs. Yeater! 🎂🎉

We are so lucky to have a principal who brings so much heart, laughter, and fun to our school! 💙 She is always willing to jump in, participate, and have a little fun with our students and staff… and she definitely knows how to make us laugh! (Look at some of these pictures) 😂

But more than anything, she is a tireless advocate for her students and her staff and always puts their best interests first. She makes NMES a special place to learn, grow, and feel supported, and we are so thankful for everything she does for our school family.

Help us wish our wonderful principal a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🥳🎈 We hope your day is as special as you are to all of us! ❤️

📚 The Book Fair is Ready to Go! 📚
The book fair is all set up and ready for our kiddos! 🎉 It starts tomorrow, Monday, September 21, and runs through Friday, September 25.

We encourage students to shop on the first day they are at the fair because there’s a good chance the books they have their eye on may not be there later in the week.

Want to make shopping even easier? You can set up an eWallet for your child using the link below:

Happy shopping and happy reading! 📚
