Brighter Future Campaign

PictureQR Code for GiveButter.com



Welcome to the CMS Parent Teacher Organization!  As a CMS parent, you are automatically a member of the PTO – no enrollment or membership fees required!  Our key mission is to enhance the education of our children by fostering the relationship between students, families, staff, and community.

“An Investment for a Brighter Future” is our primary fundraiser.  Last year’s families contributed over $37,000 to the Brighter Future campaign, and the school was able to purchase many items to supplement the needs of our exceptional student body and faculty. This year, the school will have a wish list of other items to help our students and faculty.

Our campaign goal for the 2022-2023 school year is $50,000. We are asking for a $180 donation per student from each family; that is just $1 a day for the 180 days in the school year. 

You may also support this campaign by asking grandparents or other family members to donate or by utilizing your employer’s matching gift program.
​
Two Ways to donate:

1.        Check:  ​Please make checks payable to "Central Magnet School PTO" and write "Brighter Future" on the memo line. Place this form along with a check in a sealed envelope marked "Brighter Future," and send to CMS with your student, drop off in the front office, or mail to CMS PTO, 701 E. Main Street, Murfreesboro, TN, 37130.

Corporate Matching Funds

Did you know you could double your donation?  We encourage you to inquire with your current employer about corporate matching funds
  • Many companies do provide this option to support 501(c)(3) organizations & accredited educational institutions (including K-12)
  • Some local businesses that offer matching funds are State Farm, AT&T, Nissan, Merck, General Mills, Target, Bank of America, Verizon, Dell, and many more
  • We know this is an additional step for you, but it will greatly benefit Central Magnet!
