We encourage parent participation. Volunteer opportunities come in a variety of time commitments and levels of effort. Whether you are volunteering in your child’s classroom, serving on the PTA committee, School Site Council, English Language Advisory Committee, or helping your child with homework each night, you make our school stronger. Tom Matsumoto is our school, our children, and our responsibility.

Message from the PTA President

Hello Matsumoto Mustangs!

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! On behalf of the Matsumoto Elementary PTA, I am thrilled to extend a heartfelt welcome to all our students and families. Serving as this year’s PTA President is a true honor for me. We are fortunate to have an exceptional Board, comprised of enthusiastic, talented, and dedicated volunteers.

Matsumoto Elementary holds a special place in my heart, my two children attend 3rd and 1st grade and I myself, am a teacher here. The dedication of Matsumoto’s teachers, staff, and administration is unparalleled, marking our school community truly exceptional.

PTA plays a pivotal role in our school’s success. We strive to support our students’ well-rounded education through:

Education Initiatives: Funding for Science Fair/Night, Coding classes, Assemblies, and additional learning experiences beyond curriculum.
Building Community: Hosting events like Fall Festival, Movie Nights, Paint Nights, Dances, and Cultural celebrations that bring our community together.
Volunteerism: Supporting the library, school Drama events, and fundraising efforts that enhance our students’ education experience.
Fundraising: Organizing activities, like Walk for Education, to raise crucial funds for school needs, from playground equipment to technology upgrades.

None of this would be possible without the dedication of our volunteers. Whether you are new to our school or a returning parent, I encourage you to join our PTA family. It is a wonderful opportunity to get involved, meet fellow parents and students, and stay connected to our Matsumoto community.

Finally, in order to have the most up to date information, please read our weekly email that will have all the important reminders, events, information, and opportunities at once.

Thank you for your support and for making Matsumoto a wonderful school that I am proud to attend. I look forward to an exciting year!

Kori Hambleton, PTA President
