Thanksgiving is fast approaching! We would like to take this opportunity to show our thanks to all the hardworking teachers and staff at MIMS, who help create such a nurturing learning environment for our children even during this pandemic.
To make things simple and safe for the obvious reasons, we are asking parents to only make money donations. The fund will be used to buy delicious pies for the upcoming holiday.
Our sign-up genius includes a list of all the teachers and staff in MIMS. Our goal is to give a pie to everyone. and to include at least one note of thanks with each pie.
Step 1: Use the Sign-up genius to ensure that we cover at least one pie and one note for each staff member.
Step 2: To donate for your pie, use the direct link for our $15 fixed amount. Then either drop a hand-written note at the school or email to info@mimspto.org with the subject link: Giving Thanks, Giving Pies and include the name of your teacher or staff member. We’ll print out the emails and get them to the staff with the pies next week.
Step 3: Please consider making a donation! We have a fixed amount of $15 and all money will be used for pies or other teacher appreciation efforts. You can donate to more than one name at a time!
Just a reminder that our November MIMS PTO meeting is Friday, November 13 at noon.

Our first MIMS Marketplace items are a set of gift baskets from Sallis Soapery that can be purchased on the MIMS Store and would make great holiday gifts! Read more about the gift baskets in this flier and then buy online in our MIMS Store.
Of course, you can support MIMS by selling items in the marketplace, too. Do you make or sell something you think our MIMS community would like? Want to sell something in the MIMS Marketplace? Contact Community Fundraising chair Kris O’Brien at communityfundraising@mimspto.org.
