Dear MS Families,
We are just about halfway through October and we have so many exciting things planned for the autumn months, starting with our beloved Trunk or Treat. Whether you are decorating a car or joining us for the treats, your participation makes all the difference. Let’s make this fall our best one yet!
With gratitude, Your Memorial-Spaulding PTO

The MS PTO Needs Your Help! Did you know that PTO fundraising does more than support the fun, free community events we enjoy throughout the year? It also directly funds educational opportunities for our students, including Creative Arts & Sciences presentations, classroom equipment and materials, books for our children to read, and more. Volunteering with the MSPTO is a great way to give back and get to know this amazing community. Meet other parents, connect with your child’s teachers, and be part of what makes a Memorial-Spaulding childhood so special. There’s a job for everyone—whether you have 10 minutes or 10 hours to give! Check out the opportunities below, and keep an eye on future newsletters as new ways to get involved come up throughout the year. We’d love to have you join us!
