Letter from the President

Hello Mount Washington Wolves!

I want to officially introduce myself. My name is Liz Fillmore(she/they) and I am the 24/25 President of our Parent Teacher Association.

I have taken this challenge to serve my family’s community. My official role is to oversee and coordinate the Executive Board and be the official contact and communicator who connects families and community, to support student success.

I have lived in Mount Washington for 18 years and I know how special it is! People have mentioned to me for years, even before I was a parent that our Elementary school is regarded as a magical oasis. My partner, Jonny, and I feel so lucky to live in the catchment!

Our daughter Erin is in the 2nd grade and loves her school, her friends and our neighborhood so much!

We are embarking on the first full year with our new Principal and a new Assistant Principal and my wish is that we will embrace this opportunity to build a supportive community around our school.

I hope we can agree that the priority of the public school environment is to be a safe place to learn and the priority of the PTA is to facilitate collaboration and engagement from the parents to enrich learning and make it fun!

I want all of our families’ voices to be represented in our PTA,  to build trust and work together to create the magic. 

We need to understand our systemic challenges and be persistent and hopeful that we will master all the obstacles we encounter if we work together as a community.

So I am inviting each of you to join the PTA and be a member of the Wolf Pack! 

Please remember that if we want amazing, fun community events like Mt. Washington Made or our legendary Moonlight Howl then we will need parent participation.  

And if we want to fund additional arts programs and resource staff to enrich and assist our childrens’ educational journey, we will need your donations.

Please plan to attend the general association meetings so that you can be a voice in determining the priorities of our association. 

Let’s hear your HOWL!

Warmly,

Liz Fillmore
