Chipotle Restaurant Fundraiser
Monday, September 9, 2024 4-8pm
Get excited for our first monthly restaurant fundraiser of the year! Enjoy an evening of delicious Chipotle and support MME! Chipotle (227 E. Street, Davis) will donate 25% of the sales but you must show the flyer or tell the cashier if ordering in person or enter the code if ordering online. Pick up dinner and join the PTA meeting either in-person or on Zoom!
- Please show the flyer (hard copy or on your phone) or tell the cashier at checkout that you are there for a fundraiser before you pay to make sure your purchase is counted.
- Online ordering is only valid through pickup during MME’s scheduled date, time, and assigned restaurant. Ordering delivery for fundraisers is not permitted at this time.
- The online ordering code is: X7Z9K4J
- Gift cards purchased during fundraisers do not count towards total donated sales, but purchases made with an existing gift card will count.

Volunteers Needed – Círculo de Lectura
Do you have 30 to 60 minutes once a week to help promote literacy at our school? Círculo is MME’s 100% volunteer powered, take-home reading program for all students in grades K-3. Volunteers are currently needed for this school year! We cannot provide books to our students every school day without volunteers for all classes.
Sign up in your child’s classroom at Back to School Night on September 11th, or contact program coordinators Amitha Reddy (amithasmith@gmail.com) or Nina Cossy (ninacossy@me.com) to let us know when you can volunteer!

This year, the event will be held on Friday, October 4th from 8-1 pm. We will need volunteers to help with setting up, running the event and clean up. A Sign Up Genius will be sent out soon.
