MCN wants to thank all the amazing volunteers (and Room Parents!) who have helped with all our events throughout the year. It’s such a wonderful time of programs every month and fun family events, too!!
We can’t put any of these together without your dedicated help. We all pitch in so our kids can have an amazing experience at MATES. They are so lucky, and we hope you feel lucky too, because you’re making a difference.
Every volunteer at MATES makes an investment in making our school the best it can be. Working together, meeting new people, and sharing your talents and time are noticed and appreciated by everyone at the school.
If you have taken a moment to help or signed up for a shift to make an event run smoothly, then please know you are valued and appreciated.
With gratitude,
From your 2023-24 MCN Executive Board and Event Chairs
