2023-2024 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.
