Where does my money go? Your donation funds student scholarships, teacher grants and special classroom needs, art, drama and music, dances and after-school sports, lunch-time clubs, the Renaissance Faire, MEarth Habitat lessons, student social and emotional wellbeing, teacher appreciation, and end-of-year and promotion celebrations.

What is our goal? $60,000 for the year, with a suggested donation of $250 per student. We know that some families can give that amount or more easily, while it may be a hardship for others. Whatever the amount, your generosity is appreciated, and volunteering your time is just as valuable a way to support the PTO.

How do I give? Scan the Zelle or PayPal code on the flyer above, drop a check made out to CMS PTO at the front office, or mail it to CMS PTO, 4380 Carmel Valley Rd., Carmel, CA 93923. Prizes are drawn every week of the drive.

Does your employer match donations? Carmel Middle School PTO is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, EIN 90-0819480, and your donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
