MGS PTO is beyond thrilled to share that because of the incredible support PTO has received over the past few years they are able to offer every certified teacher at MGS a $75 credit for their classroom for next school year! They can use this on anything for the classroom: decor, supplies, rewards, materials, etc! THANK YOU to each person who has supported a PTO program through donations or volunteering. YOU made this possible!!
