A New and Easy Way to Support CHMS

If you missed the Fall Giving Campaign in October, you have another chance to help CHMS. 100% of funds raised go directly to Community House Middle School.

Donate Today

If you find yourself questioning why you should donate funds to the PTO I urge you to look at this report. Community House Middle continuously receives less funding per student than any other middle school in CMS. CHMS PTO helps make up that difference.

Ways to Support CHMS

 Donate to the Capital Campaign

The PTO relies on the Capital Campaign to fund our programs and support our students, teachers and families at Community House. This support includes books, technology, special events like spirit week and dances, student recognition, EOG study materials, teacher professional development and more. Please give to support our students and teachers.

Matching Gifts

Do you work for Apple, Bank of America, Duke Energy, General Electric, Microsoft, Takeda, UBS, Wells Fargo? Double your contribution through your company matching gift program. Apple and Microsoft also match hours so make sure to log your volunteer time to raise even more money for our school. Don't see your company on the list? Check to see if your company has a matching program and let us know so we can get the PTO registered.

Fishing for Compliments

Mrs. Brooks likes to periodically give the teachers an extra Thank You for a job well done or a compliment given by a parent. We keep $25.00 gift cards on hand for her to give to these teachers. Please consider donating as much as you are comfortable with to this endeavor. The teachers are always thrilled to be recognized, and excited to receive a little "bonus". If you are unable to give a monetary gift, please consider complimenting a teacher to Mrs. Brooks so that your teacher can be considered for the gift card. This is a great way to show the teachers we really appreciate the time and effort they put into teaching our kids. 

Buy Required Reading from CHMS PTO

Did you know that CHMS PTO sells the ELA Required Reading as a Fundraiser?  Please consider buying your books through the PTO at Pay4SchoolStuff.com.  A small percentage benefits CHMS and the books will be delivered directly to your child's teacher.
