Become A Member! Please remember to support your MHS PTSA by becoming a member or contributing to the Write-A-Check fund. Becoming a member doesn't commit you to volunteer, but it gives you a vote and a voice in advocating for improvements for our school and Frederick County teachers! Both the membership and the Write-a-Check fundraiser provide the financial wherewithal for the PTSA to organize and implement a wide range of activities in support of the MHS experience for the students. In addition, volunteers are always welcome to help at individual events. As a friendly reminder, Seniors who wish to apply for the $500 PTSA scholarship in the Spring must be members as well. 2019-2020 PTSA Membership
Baccalaureate The PTSA is looking for parents of juniors and seniors to help with the 2020 Senior Baccalaureate to be scheduled in May 2020. This time-honored tradition is a student-led community program for MHS seniors to celebrate their upcoming graduation by hearing inspirational speakers, enjoying the talents of fellow seniors, and reflecting on their life journey to graduation. We are the only school in the county that hosts a Baccalaureate. It is always well-received by parents and students alike, and although this is a ceremony for seniors, interested parents of juniors are encouraged to assist in order to gain experience and insight for their future senior's baccalaureate. An informational meeting will be forthcoming next month.If you are interested in helping the PTSA and MHS seniors plan this year’s Baccalaureate, please email the PTSA Baccalaureate committee: mhsptsbacc@gmail.com
Advocacy: Fund our Schools - Support Maryland Blueprint! Thursday, November 14 Maryland Blueprint is focused on securing additional funds for our Maryland schools. It is quoted that Maryland public school funding is short by over $2.9 billion each year, equating to an average of $2 million shortage per school. Sample areas of focus include: supporting salary increases for teachers, revising the outdated formula used to provide funding for schools, and improving technology and services for those disadvantaged in the community and/or school. Per the Maryland PTA, which charters MHS PTSA:
Your voice is needed for this critical conversation, and we hope that you will consider attending the Frederick County Forum on November 14. Admission is free.
