Be a Proud Panther and Join the PTSA!
Start the year off right – as you register your student, join the CCMS PTSA. The CCMS PTSA is an open, diverse group of parents, teachers and students that supports CCMS and its students. We encourage all parents, students, teachers and family members to join (even grandma can sign up)! The membership fee results in advocacy for our students at the district, state and national level. The more members we have, the more say we have! Please consider sponsoring membership for a teacher.
Membership costs just $8. Membership is only good for 1 year, so even if you joined last year, please join again this year! Go to https://jointotem.com/ca/culver-city/culver-city-middle-school-ptsa/join to join today!
DONATE NOW TO THE CCMS 100 CAMPAIGN!
At the start of each school year, the PTSA and Panther Partners (our Booster Club) raise funds that are needed for critical programs including our teacher materials and supplies, WEB program, AVID, Music and Choir, Athletics, after-school enrichment, academic intervention and much more. Even though we'll all be starting the year with a distanced learning approach, we need these essential funds, this year more than ever, to support our students and teachers with vital resources for distance learning including technology (hardware and software) and training.
We're asking 100% of CCMS families to donate meaningfully to raise $100,000 in the first 100 days of school (before 11/1). Last year we raised $40,000 and we want to build on that success this year.
We are asking each CCMS family to donate and give meaningfully. There is no minimum amount, and every dollar truly counts!
The PTSA will not run any other fundraisers and will rely solely on your contributions to fund our programs. In order to provide quality experiences for our 1,700 students, we must raise $100,000. Click here to donate now: PTSA & Panther Partners Annual Giving Campaign. All contributions, small or large, are truly appreciated, and are a celebration of our special community. Thank you in advance for donating!
