JOIN THE NOBLE PTA FOR JUST $10!

MCS Noble Middle School’s PTA supports critical academic needs, is an active voice on decisions that impact your child's health, safety and quality of education, and builds a stronger, more inclusive school community. We invite you to join and PTA For Your Child because increasing our membership, even by one, makes it possible to:


  • Fund umbrellas for picnic tables in the courtyard

  • Provide funding for Campus Green Team

  • Provide academic enhancements such as Science Olympiad, Reflections, Math Counts & Battle of the Books.

  • Fund staff appreciation events

  • Fund literacy initiatives

  • Fund recreational projects

  • And Much, Much More!


There is no wrong or right way to be involved - anything you can give, whether it's time or money, will support your child's potential. We invite you to join because we can do more together than apart. It only takes 5 minutes. All adults in the household are encouraged to become official voting PTA members. PTA membership dues include membership in our local, State, and National PTAs.


We currently have 269 members help us reach our goal of 300 members!


*Membership must be renewed each school year*

EAGLE PRIDE FUND DONATIONS

Thank you so much to all families and businesses who have donated this year! We have raised $2,740. Donate today to help us reach our $6,000 goal!


The Eagle Pride Fund is a direct donation program of MCS Noble PTA, and 100% of your dollars go to school funding. This program is the backbone of the PTA budget this year. The Eagle Pride Fund is how we budget incredible support for the students and staff of Noble, yet avoid direct selling fundraising programs!


$50 per family is the suggested amount, however donations of any amount are appreciated and welcome. Can we agree $50 a year sounds far better than selling wrapping paper or candles to friends and family?


Need a personal tax benefit? This is one possible way!!


How about a BUSINESS tax benefit?


Now isn’t the right time, but you’d like an invoice at a later date? No problem! Email nobleptatreasurer@gmail.com, PTA Treasurer, and we will certainly accommodate your request!

DECEMBER STOCK THE TEACHER WORKROOM

Our next Stock the Teacher Work Room is THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7th! Please sign up below & help support our amazing staff!

EAGLE WATCH

The EagleWATCH program is such a benefit to the school and a great opportunity to spend a little time in your child's environment, become familiar with everyone, and provide added safety to all students. The best part is that it's on your schedule. Sign up for an hour shift any time you can! Change days, change times, or make it a weekly date.


Email PTA Volunteer Michelle Robinson at mrsknightrobinson@gmail.com with any questions and she will provide all the info you need to get started.
