Below is the current information regarding COVID-19 updates at Myers Park Traditional school as of March 13, 2020 at 2:00pm.  We will be posting updates on the PTA Website as they come in to help keep our families informed.

VOLUNTEER RESTRICTIONS
As of the end of day, March 13, 2020, CMS is cancelling all volunteer support in schools.  This includes, but is not limited to, tutoring (including Heart Math), all PTA activities, reading buddies, lunch with your student, class parties, all before and after school clubs, etc...  This DOES NOT include ASEP which will continue to run as scheduled.

MPTS is launching a Coding Club for Grades 3-5 with Mrs. Connor in late-January. The club will meet on Monday mornings from 7:45am - 8:45am beginning January 27 through March 23, 220.  Registration is $100 and scholarships are available. Don't delay, the Coding Club is limited to 30 participants.  Contact Mrs. Connor for more information.

Teams will consist of 7-12 girls, depending on how many girl show interest/sign up.

• How long is this program? 6 weeks, 2 times per week starting March 9th
• How long is each practice? 60 minutes
• What is the cost of the program? $75

• Will the girls participate in the 5k? Girls will make signs on their last practice. Coaches will encourage both girls and families to attend the 5K, where they will cheer on the GOTR girls along the course, holding up signs the girls made at practice. 
• Is there a running? There will be running but not in the form you see at GOTR. The girls may run from station-to-station, run in place, or run because they’re playing tag. The two main goals of this program are to (a) serve more girls and (b) be a pipeline/on-ramp to GOTR.

Registration is open until January 31st. Spots are limited!  Interested girls can register using the link above.  Contact Ms. Reza to learn more.

Grab your running shoes and join the Girls on the Run fun! This 10-week program for girls in 3rd through 5th grade, educates and prepares girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.
