PTO will also start their normal workroom schedule on Monday, August 11th. Previous experience is required for these slots as you will be working independently.
This is a fantastic way to ease your littles into MGS with getting to know the playground and meeting some classmates before school starts! PTO will have a scavenger hunt, coloring pages, and a small snack!
