Who is a member? Every Mountain Shadows parent, guardian, and staff person is a member of
the Mountain Shadows Parent Guild. (www.msmsparent.org)
Our purpose is to build a supportive community that will enhance the educational goals and
respond to the practical needs of the School. Parent Guild sponsors social activities,
presentations and fundraisers – all of which enhance the school environment and social
community. Watch for a communication soon with the dates for the events.
Evites go out for events according to the email address registered with MSMS directory. They

The parent-to-parent forum may be used to find volunteers for events, to organize class
playdates, find music teachers, dance classes, sports teams, Moms’ nights out, and no doubt
many other items throughout the school year. Please sign up!
We need team leaders & members – please volunteer!
When you volunteer you have a direct impact on your child’s environment. Come and take an
active role in the school community. In doing so you will make new friends; enjoy a closer
connection to other parents at school; get to know your children’s teacher(s) better; be an active
part of the school community, and most of all, have fun!!
Sign-up sheets for volunteering will be at the Back-to-School night on August 24 and Parent
Guild Welcome Coffee on September 2. For organizing special events, like Fall Fest, a special
committee will be set up.
