Brighter Future Campaign

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 $41,000 to the Brighter Future campaign, and the school was able to purchase outdoor tables, umbrellas and landscaping, training and awards, cameras and iPads, classroom supplies, and more to supplement the needs of our exceptional student body and faculty. Some wish list items for this school year include software, art materials and supplies, sound equipment for auditorium, lab supplies, and staff development.

Our campaign goal for the 2021-22 school year is $50,000. We are asking for a $180 donation 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.
