Bee a Part

One person has the power to make a difference. We see that every day at our school in the dedication of a teacher, in the support of a parent, and the care of a staff member. Now, imagine the difference that comes from the combined power of all Matthews Elementary parents and staff working together. That is the power of the MPTO, and together we can continue to make Matthews Elementary a great place for our children's primary education. How can you make a difference? The MPTO offers numerous volunteer opportunities allowing everyone to find his or her niche. No matter whether you can volunteer once a year or once a week. No matter whether you can participate in one MPTO event or every MPTO event. No matter whether you are able to contribute a little or lot to our fundraising efforts.​
