The new 2023-2024 Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Board is excited for a new school year full of learning and fun. The purpose of the PTA is to engage and support families, teachers, and supporters of our school, provide quality programs and opportunities to connect, and to advocate for the education of every child at Mildred Helms Elementary School.

If you haven't already joined the PTA, please know the support through your membership is important to our school to help us bring quality events and programs for all MHES kids and to qualify the school for grants and awards. Please don't hesitate to contact your Board if you have questions about joining. Opportunities to volunteer from home are also available.

Check back for PTA General Meeting dates in August!
