MCMS PTO “Raise the Creek - Invest in Your Maverick” Campaign
Did you know???
…While we reside in a community with great financial support from our county commissioners and school board, it’s simply not enough to provide all of the resources we need in the areas of technology, classroom materials, and equipment for teacher and staff needs
…That many teachers provide items for their classrooms out of their own money
...SmartBoards, which are used regularly by teachers during instructional time, cost $3,000 each and we will be purchasing at least TWO by September 2023 as well and planning for additional purchases over the school year
...Document Cameras for classrooms (similar to projection systems) are approximately $200 each and we expect to purchase 6 this year for MCMS
…Whiteboards and bulletin boards cost around $500 each and we expect to purchase at least TWO this Fall
...Office Supplies for Guidance Counselors and the Front Office such as an Electric 3 Hole Punch and Document Scanners are needed to help make life easier and more efficient for our staff
...New Mixer/Audio Technology for the Middle School gym for events and graduation which costs approximately $1,000 is needed this school year
...Science lab tables cost over $1000 each
...A Portable Bluetooth Speaker system for events, etc at the cost of approximately $500 is needed for this school year
…Your $25 membership in the PTO and your additional contribution to “Raise the Creek” will help us meet the needs of Mill Creek Middle School
…That 100% of your investment is tax-deductible and will benefit all of Mill Creek Middle School.
...We can’t succeed without YOU!!
“Raise the Creek” summarizes the PTO’s vision for Mill Creek Middle to flood our school with support, funds, and volunteer efforts, allowing the school to have ample resources and student opportunities for successful years at middle school.
The PTO is asking each family to contribute to the “Raise the Creek” campaign to help us meet our fundraising goals this year. Our suggested donation of $25 per student, or $50 per family with two or more students in our school, will have a direct impact on our student's educational success at Mill Creek Middle School. Please know this is a voluntary request and all amounts (larger or smaller) will be greatly appreciated. All donations are tax-deductible and will be used by the PTO to purchase items greatly needed for our school.
