East Meck High School PTSO

Join us on Saturday, October 8, from 9 AM to 12 PM, to beautify the East Meck campus! The students have been making a list of projects. We’d love to have students and parents come out to help. Please bring gardening gloves, rakes, brooms, paint brushes, hedge trimmers, loppers, and lawn bags, if you have them. Make sure you label your tools with your name! Email emhsptso@gmail.com with questions.

The next PTSO meeting is on Tuesday, October 11 at 7:00 PM! This meeting will be virtual. Check back here for the sign-in link.

Everyone is welcome and we hope to see you there!

Can you help us repeat for the media center what we did for the 500 building? Please help us find another fridge!

Thanks to Karen Fry we were able to donate a fridge to our teachers and staff in the 500 building. Thanks to Mike Kenerley and his company “The Essential Gardener, LLC” it made its way to the school and our custodian Hector Abreu helped us bring it to the right spot. Thanks to all who made this possible, because our teachers really love their “cool stuff” and their “stuff cool.”

Help us repeat this miracle for our Media Coordinator, Ms. Williams! If you are renovating and have a working fridge that you are going to replace, or if  you have one in your basement or your garage that you don’t need anymore, please consider donating and reach out to us at emhsptso@gmail.com. Thank you for making miracles happen for our staff.

The East Meck French program plans to welcome about 20 students from Lille, France, for a two-week exchange in February.  We are in need of families to host these students during their stay.  Your student does not need to be enrolled in French!  They need only to be willing to bring the visiting student to school with them and help to introduce them to American family life and Charlotte.  If you are interested in hosting, please contact the parent coordinator, Christine Haynes, at christine.s.haynes@gmail.com.  There will be an organizational meeting with our French teachers to learn more details in early October.

East Meck families, check this out: The PTSO website is now translated into seven languages! Families can use the language flags at the top to auto-translate the pages from English to Spanish, Vietnamese, Nepali, Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, and Amharic/Ethiopian. Spread the word and let us know what you think.

Your East Meck PTSO is thrilled to announce the creation of a Grant Program! This program is open to all staff members of East Meck High School. Contact the PTSO with any questions: emhsptso@gmail.com.
