PTSA President's Message

Farewell!

The middle school years have flown by. I started my journey as a volunteer, then VP of Operations, and now President. In the 3 years that I have been involved in the PTSA at PMS I have met incredible students, parents, teachers, and staff. It has been such a feeling of fulfillment to watch the students grow into independent young people knowing the PTSA has worked to advocate for them.

Though this year was not a normal year and has presented some challenges, I am grateful for the unwavering support of PMS parents, as well as my PTSA board. I trust that as we welcome a new PTSA board for the upcoming year, your support will continue as they move us into a sense of normalcy. Please welcome our new President, Nancy Levy and her board. I have no doubt that next year will be a great year.

Have a safe and enjoyable summer.
