​Who we are:

Picture
The Margaret Beeks Elementary (MBE) Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is made up of volunteers in the Beeks community - parents, teachers, staff, and community members. Our goal is to support our school and teachers and to strengthen the relationship between parents/guardians, teachers, staff, and students to help MBE succeed. We also help by providing support for the school's educational, recreational, and infrastructure needs. But best of all: it is a great way to get to know other MBE families and school staff!

STAY INFORMED!
Follow us on our Facebook® page or Follow us on Twitter!
