Fall Fundraiser
2024-25 SCHOOL-WIDE GOALS
* Raise $25,000 *
* Log 400,000 minutes of reading *
Register using the privacy-safe SchoolFundr website and add all your family and friends' email addresses! Families with 2+ students can use different email addresses for each account (preferred) OR combine students into one account.
Share your customized link on social media and with everyone you know!
Track and submit your student's reading log each week so their class can win fun prizes!
To meet or exceed our school wide goal of $25,000, we need each participant (with the help of a parent/guardian) to send emails and texts to as many of their biggest supporters as possible! This means sharing your reading goal and fundraising efforts with Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Neighbors, Family Friends, your Church, Coaches, Parent’s Co-Workers, your Dentist, etc. Donations from extended family and community members really make a HUGE difference!
Each MES student receives about $110 in benefit from the PTA and we're asking for just $50 per MES student.
Please consider funding one or more of the families who aren’t able to contribute.
Remember that you do not have to register with SchoolFundr to make a donation!
You can always donate to the PTA on our website or with cash or check (made out to MES PTA). Simply place in an envelope labeled “PTA” and send to school in your child's take-home folder.

Ms. Lincoln and The McDougle Dolphin Dudes and Dudettes (or something like that) aka Mr. Tauber, Mr. Smith and Ms. Zincone, came up with an amazing "jingle" for our read-a-thon!
Swimmy had THE best time!
How DO the students feel about sliming Principal Jones? 🤔
And what do they think about the winning class in every grade getting a movie and popcorn party??
