PTO

The MOPTO supports our school to grow and prosper through community volunteerism and fundraising. We need YOU to accomplish our goals. We need your experience, your input, your thoughts, your concerns and most of all – YOUR PARTICIPATION. We are excited to partner with family and caregivers, administration, teachers and staff to build an even better school experience for our students.

The MOPTO supports Mount Olive Middle School by offering curriculum-based learning events and resources, social, and celebration events made possible via targeted fundraisers and program development through the year. You have great ideas to keep learning engaging and innovative for our children. Money raised by the MOPTO bridges the gap! Your involvement can help in many areas that are vital to the success of our students at MOMS.

Thank you for your support!

Please sign-up and pay membership dues ($12) here.

 

The MOPTO strives to support the students, parents and education at MOMS by promoting a sense of community through fundraisers, events and give-back programs.

Families can volunteer as little or as much as possible.
