“All of us may not live to see the higher accomplishment of an African Empire—so strong and powerful, as to compel the respect of mankind, but we in our life-time can so work and act as to make the dream a possibility within another generation.” - Marcus Garvey  

 


 

Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

 

What is MMGITA PTO?

The MMGITA Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is a collaborative organization open to all MMGITA parents, guardians, teachers, administrators, and interested community members.

 

You are automatically a member of this organization if you are part of the circle of adults who want the best education and finest opportunities for all children at the Marcus Mosiah Garvey Institute and Teaching Academy.

 

How can you stay informed about the PTO?

·         Attend one or all of the meetings of the full PTO.

·         Visit the bulletin board at the school’s entry where meeting dates are announced.

·         Contact an officer or member of the PTO Steering Committee by calling or sending a note to the school office.

 

Active parent-teacher booster organizations contribute to a positive school climate and to student success.

 

We are you, and we need you!

 

What can YOU do to improve education and opportunities through the PTO?

·         Respond to volunteer needs as communicated through flyers, phone calls, and school personnel.

·         Help raise needed $$ by heading a fundraising project or being on a committee, attending fundraising events, or buying/ selling products.

·         Attend PTO meetings to stay informed, contribute ideas, and elect or be a leader of the PTO.

·         Donate a tax-deductible financial contribution. MMGITA is incorporated as a non-profit organization!

 

Dances, bake sales, candy drives, etc, have helped MMGITA sustain in the community.  Your support can make a difference.  If you have a unique, creative idea for fundraising, please present your idea to Director Pashee.
