ANNOUNCING: Soaring Eagles Fundraiser is here!

Dear CHMS Families, 

We are excited to announce the kickoff to CHMS' annual PTO fundraiser starting October 1st, the Soaring Eagles Fundraiser (formerly known as the Fall Fundraiser)! 

The CHMS PTO relies entirely on the generous donations from our Eagle families and sponsors to fund its annual budget. The PTO dues you’ve already paid cover about 25% of our yearly expenses. Each October, we launch a month-long campaign to bridge the gap, allowing us to continue supporting and enhancing your student’s learning experience throughout the 2024-2025 school year.

Did you know that about half of our annual budget goes directly to supporting teachers and enriching their classrooms? Here are just a few examples:

• CHMS Cares - hands on student volunteer annual initiative
• The creation of our Living Classroom, purchased over two years, which earned CHMS a prestigious Green Ribbon Award
• Flexible classroom furniture that has been a huge hit with students
• New bike racks, requested by both students and staff
• School-wide speakers
• Supplies for Pep Rallies
• Chromebook chargers for classrooms
• Lumber for set construction for school musicals

CHMS is a wonderful place, thanks to the dedication of our staff who provide a supportive and enriching learning environment for our students. With your help, we can continue the tradition of excellence and enhancement that the CHMS PTO is proud to provide.

We deeply appreciate your continued support and look forward to making this year’s fundraiser a success!

 

What makes this fundraiser unique (and a favorite among parents) is that we don’t ask you to do anything besides click a link and donate. Yes! It’s that easy. No selling products, no attending events, no soliciting on our behalf. We love simple asks!

 

Please click HERE to donate. Thank you in advance for your support!
