About MCE PTA

About the PTA

The Mill Creek Elementary Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a group of parent volunteers who graciously donate their time in a variety of different ways to support our mission to provide programs and services that will enhance the learning environment, to help ensure our school and classrooms are equipped for both teaching and learning, and to work closely with our school principal to best determine how and where PTA can help.  No matter what program, service, or event our PTA is sponsoring, the goal is to benefit our children!

The programs our PTA organizes and the funds we raise are entirely made possible by your monetary donations. Just as important, is the donation of your gift of time to the school.  Many of the events we produce are not possible without parent participation.  If you are interested in volunteering please visit our Volunteer page.

2022-2023 Vision and Mission Statement

Mill Creek Elementary PTA adheres to the Washington State PTA’s vision that every Child’s potential becomes a reality.  Further, MCE PTA’s vision is that every MCE student and family will feel welcome, accepted and included.

The Mission of Mill Creek Elementary PTA is to provide a system of support and resources for the students, teachers and families at Mill Creek Elementary. MCE PTA does this by sponsoring events and programs that address the needs of our diverse community while fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment in which students, families and teachers are engaged and empowered. We provide financial support to enhance educational opportunities and harness a committed volunteer cadre to advocate for the interests of our school and community.  We advocate for the well-being and education of all children, and particularly those who are traditionally unheard and underserved.
