Please feel free to join any session(s) that you can; it doesn’t have to specifically be the grade or group that your student is assigned to.  Zoom information/login details can be found in the Traditional Times.  

STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK:
​VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Let’s Celebrate our Superhero Staff!  MPTS Staff Appreciation Week is March 22-26, 2021.  In this unusual year, we welcome any and all volunteers to help show our teachers and staff just how much we appreciate them!  Please reach out to Mary Katherine Stukes at marykatherine@gmail.com if you’re interested in helping plan this fun week honoring our amazing MPTS staff.

KIDS HEART CHALLENGE

Join the Mission - Become a Heart Hero!  MPTS has heart!  The Kids Heart Challenge is your child’s chance to be a Heart Hero by learning about heart health, spreading the word about how to live a long and healthy life, and raising funds to help other children with sick hearts. Click HERE to learn more about the mission, and click HERE to sign your child up! Thank you for supporting students’ physical and emotional well-being and helping collect donations for the American Heart Association.  If you have any questions please contact Miss. Horner at k.horner@cms.k12.nc.us. 

Note:  When collecting donations, if someone prefers to write a paper check rather than paying online, donation envelopes are available in the MPTS main office.  

YEARBOOK: PICTURES NEEDED

Candid Photos Needed

Planning for the 2020-2021 MPTS yearbook is underway and we need your help! We are in need of candid photos representing all grade levels which may include online learning, participating in a Specials class activity at home, Traditional Giving parade, packet pick up, carpool, Spirit Rock, in person learning, etc.  All photos may be submitted via Photo Post which is a private sharing site where only the MPTS yearbook committee will see the photos.  To upload please follow the below instructions:
  • Visit http://yearbooks.classic-photo.com/Classic2/home3/Public.jsp 
  • Click on the Photo Post icon on the left.
  • Populate the drop down boxes with our information (Charlotte, NC and Myers Park Traditional) then sign in or up with a new account.
  • Upload your photos and move them to the appropriate folders provided *Make sure to name your pictures with a GRADE/ACTIVITY before uploading. This helps if they are misfiled and tells us what grade the photos belong to.  
Stay tuned for details regarding yearbook and ad sales in the coming weeks!  As always you may send your photos or questions to mptsyearbook@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance for your support of the MPTS yearbook!
