Dear Maybeury families,

 

Thank you so much for visiting our PTA website to learn about our organization and the
amazing school it supports. I am grateful to have you here because community is what
sets Maybeury apart. Our school is filled with people who want to be here: Families
who moved nearby because they’ve heard about the “Maybeury Magic,” staff who have
been at MES for 20+ years, and families from over 25 countries who have come here to find support for their children in our village. Maybeury is a place where everyone can find their home in a welcoming community to help them grow.

I entered Maybeury as a “Covid kindergartener” parent, anxious—like everyone
else—about how our family would navigate education under unprecedented
circumstances. While learning about Microsoft Teams and Clever and SeeSaw and all
the other online platforms, I watched my PTA predecessors do what seemed nearly
impossible: They kept our community together. With drive-through open houses, virtual
and outdoor fundraisers, playground “kits” for kids to play safely together these parents
brought sunshine and creativity to families and teachers struggling through heavy,
daunting times.

 

After marveling at how the PTA lifted us through adversity, I knew it was my turn to give
back. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our families and local businesses, now we
have the opportunity to GROW! We have big ideas and want you to be a part of them.
Therefore, our first, and most imperative, goal is to expand our membership to hear the
voices of our entire community. We have made joining our website FREE so all Mallard
families can be in-the-know about PTA and school goings on. Additionally, our website
is available in a variety of languages including: Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Nepali.
Getting more families involved in our organization is just the beginning! I’m excited to
bring a new Culture & Diversity committee to our PTA, fund new projects at school, and connect with other PTAs in HCPS to share our successes while supporting each other.

 

Stay tuned for great things to come. Thank you all for choosing to be a part of our
community. We’re glad you’re here!
