MBE Parent Group News
Welcome to a new year at Morris Bye Elementary School! The goal of the Morris Bye Parent Group (MBPG) is to support our staff and students in whatever way we can! Sometimes that means planning a Halloween Dance, and others it means stocking the staff lounge for the long hours during conferences. There’s a lot of flexibility and variability!
Would you like to make a difference in our school or just learn what the MBPG is about? Come to a meeting! Our first meeting of the year will be on Tuesday, September 10th from 6-7pm in the Media Center. Childcare will be provided in the gym. We will start discussing ideas for the upcoming Halloween Dance!
