Moline Education Association

Every two years, we need to have an election for our MEA Executive Board positions.

Here is a message from Marigrace Alonso, our Elections Chair :

“The elections nomination window for the MEA Executive Board positions is now open! Current seats up for election include: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and the 7 At Large positions. The MEA will definitely need at least one nomination for Elementary At Large because there is going to be an unfilled seat!

If you would like to add your name to the ballot, the window closes April 30, 2021. Please make sure to include a biography.

The election date will be May 7, 2021.”

Please let Marigrace Alonso (malonso@molineschools.org or 743-8941) know if you would like to add your name to the ballot!

Any positions that go unchallenged will not require a paper ballot vote.

Share Joys 2020 ~ Together Apart, Put Share Joys in Your Heart! 

Attention to all who care about our Moline K-12 students as we do …

The 2020 Share Joys Fundraiser needs your help! This fundraiser allows us to clothe Moline District #40 K-12 students in need, just in time for the holidays. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, many of the traditional aspects of this fundraiser (ex. the donut eating contest, cafeteria treats, NHS ‘elf’ treats, classroom activities etc.) will not be happening this year. Despite this, the need is greater than ever! So, we make direct appeal instead … please consider donating whatever you can spare to this link https://moline.revtrak.net/share-joys/

On behalf of our students, we thank you for your generosity!
