TRADITIONAL GIVING CAMPAIGN

TRADITIONAL GIVING is MPTS' annual campaign and main fundraiser that plays a vital role in ensuring our children receive the enriching education, exciting materials and engaging programs necessary to reach new heights.

Chromebooks, SMART Boards, cultural arts performances, and The Leader in Me program are a just a few examples of the many ways in which your gifts help enrich our childrens' learning experience.
  • Traditional Giving 2020 runs from September 17 - October 16.
  • 100% of your donation goes to resources and experiences for our children.
  • Our goal is 100% family participation - no gift is too small!
The funds raised during the 2020 TRADITIONAL GIVING campaign will go towards:
  • CRITICAL NEEDS FUND - this fund was established in response to COVID and supports MPTS families who have been hit hardest during the pandemic. Last year, we provided nearly $10,000 in groceries to families in need and your support is needed more than ever. In partnership with the SLT, we have moved this fund under the PTA creating a line item to support families this year and in the future who are in crisis.
  • DIGITAL CLASSROOM RESOURCES - Supplemental resources beyond what CMS provides - Raz Kids, Dreambox for 3rd-5th grade, and IXL give students and teachers the tools needed to meet the unique needs of each learner.
  • HEART MATH TUTORING - The PTA partially funds this math intervention program provided to MPTS students.
  • PPE - When CMS moves to Plan B, the PTA will provide supplies like plastic barriers, cleaning supplies, and desks for kindergarten so they can socially distance properly
  • "LEADER IN ME" PROGRAMMING - The heart of our magnet, the “Leader in Me” programming, is heavily funded through Traditional Giving.
  • SUPPORTING OUR TEACHERS - Especially in COVID times, our teachers need support! The PTA provides snacks, afternoon pick-me-ups, and occasional meals. Virtual or in-person, the PTA also funds Staff Appreciation Week through Traditional Giving.
  • PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE - The PTA has been asked to start the process of funding a new K-2 playground and the money raised from Traditional Giving will help support this near-future initiative.
