Welcome!

Welcome to the John Muir Elementary PTA blog!

Ms. Foss~
As most of you know, Ms. Foss had requested a position over at Morello Park Elementary. Ms. Foss was our computer technician at John Muir. She updated our website (hence the blog) and attended most, if not all of our PTA meetings. We are sad to see her go and we will miss her very much, however we wish her all the best at Morello.

PTA Meetings~
PTA meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 in the teacher's lounge at John Muir. Parents, teachers and students who wish to participate are all welcome & are encouraged to attend the PTA meetings. They usually run about an hour & a half & they are for the most part, very informative. We'd love to hear from students, teachers & parents about which programs are loved, & which programs we could do without. We'd also love to hear how you can help! The meetings aren't just for the volunteer board, but for all members of the John Muir community. We currently have 143 members; if you haven't joined yet, please make sure you do so soon! The last chance to become a member this year, will be at the John Muir Pasta Feed on February 26th at the cafeteria at John Muir.
