Hello Moss Haven Community,

 

Welcome to the Moss Haven Elementary PTA family! My name is Lauren Combest, and I am honored to serve as the PTA President for the 2025–2026 school year. My husband, Steve, and I have lived in the MHE neighborhood since 2012, and we feel deeply grateful to be a part of this vibrant community. Our daughters, Elizabeth (5th grade) and Audrey (3rd grade), are both proud Mustangs!

 

This year, our PTA theme is FLOURISH — a reflection of our mission to nurture and support every child, teacher, and staff member so that each one can grow and thrive here at Moss Haven. To flourish means more than just getting by — it means thriving academically, emotionally, socially, and creatively. As a PTA, our role is to provide the care, connection, and resources that help make that possible.

 

Whether it’s providing classroom supplies, organizing family-friendly events, or showing appreciation for our incredible staff, the PTA’s work centers on ensuring that every child at MHE has the opportunity to flourish. Our families, faculty, and staff come from beautifully diverse backgrounds, and when we come together with a shared purpose, the entire community blossoms.

 

We’re excited to continue MHE’s beloved traditions this year, including:

  • Fall Festival — a community favorite event full of fun and fellowship,
  • Auction — our largest annual fundraiser with a tropical twist this year, Passport to Paradise,
  • World’s Fair — a celebration of cultures that enrich our school,
  • Field Day and 5th Grade Celebrations — joyful milestones that help our students grow with pride and confidence,
  • and more!

We’ll also continue to partner with organizations like Moss Haven Farm, the MHE Dad’s Club, and Emerge — each playing a unique part in creating the fertile ground for growth at MHE.

 

I encourage you to get involved in ways that speak to your passions — whether it’s volunteering in the classroom, helping at events, or serving on a committee. Every bit of time and support you give helps our students feel more rooted, more seen, and more equipped to flourish.

 

If you haven’t already, please consider joining the PTA. Your involvement directly impacts the experience of every student at MHE, and together, we can create an environment where our kids — and our whole community — grow and flourish.

 

With gratitude,
Lauren Combest
