Welcome!

The Martinson Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (MES PTO) was formed to promote the welfare of our elementary students, facilitate a unified relationship between home and school, and support the teachers and administration both financially and in the classroom.

The PTO sponsors many student enrichment programs and field trips, holds school events that provide communication and strong community bonds, and provides financial and volunteer support for our classrooms and administrative needs. 

We encourage you to become an active member of our PTO by becoming a member, by attending our general meetings, and by getting involved in our school events and fundraisers.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  Thank you in advance for your support and participation in the PTO!

Together we make a difference!

Scribbles 'N Scribes Magazine

We are pleased and excited to welcome back our PTO-sponsored magazine for a third year! 

This project encourages creative writing, with the reward being published in the Scribble ’N Scribes magazine.  This venture is an independent publication run by PTO volunteers.  It is available to anyone who would like to share their creative voice! In our first year, over 110 students participated, and more than 162 joined in last year! Here is a sample of our student's handiwork: Scribble 'N Scribes Feb 2007

Is your child a storyteller or a poet?  A songwriter, playwright or humorist?  Does he have another writing idea? 

Scribble ’N Scribes is for children who just want to write for creative fun!

Your child’s literary piece will be published in Scribble ’N Scribes magazine, which comes out three times during the school year in November, February and May. 

Each contributor will receive their own copy, and copies will be available to peruse in the library and front lobby as well.

  Deadlines for each issue will be posted on our bulletin board, are listed below, and are on the submission form.

Click on the link below for the submission form:

Scribble 'N Scribes Magazine Submission Form

We hope you and your child will be part of this combined effort either by reading, listening to, or joining in our writing excitement!
