Fundraising
Fundraising in a special needs environment is challenging since our children are often unable to advocate for themselves and attempt the more traditional fundraising activities due to their limitations. The PTO therefore activiely seeks sponsorship from the community and business partners to help provide the normal financial assistance and to sponsor activities which would positively impact on the educational and emotional environments of our children. Please see some our page on PTO Activities - Past Year on how we used monies last year. Some projects which the PTO has funded through the years from donations and fundraising activities:
We are in the process of planning fundraising activities so any thoughts are welcomed metroschoolpto@gmail.com Completed Fund Raising Activities Charity Golf Tournament - A very special thank you to Lori West for ensuring our participation in this wonderful event. This event is crucial to our fundraising efforts. To all of the volunteers, we appreciate your help! It was a beautiful day and all the golfers were extremely gracious to us. Belk Fall Charity Event - Kudos to Leigh Kasin (once again) for coordinating our participation and all ticket sales. Great Job!!!
