Direct Giving
The annual Direct Giving campaign is East Meck PTSO’s primary fundraiser. It allows you to make an easy, direct donation straight to the PTSO general fund—nothing to sell, nothing to buy. The funds raised for Direct Giving provide extra resources for our children and teachers at East Meck for many things that the school would not otherwise receive. Here is a sampling of what Direct Giving supports:
-
Teacher grant program to support their unmet needs
-
Staff appreciation events
-
Senior graduation events
-
Supplies, health room necessities, and room decor
-
Grounds upkeep and beautification
-
Various student run activities
Consider making a tax-deductible donation to the PTSO Direct Giving campaign and check with your company to see if they will match your gift. For more information and to donate online, visit: https://emptso.org/donate

Yearbooks
Yearbooks are finally for sale and are $80 this year. Make sure you buy a yearbook now, rather than later, to avoid complications. Your student will receive their yearbook at the end of the school year. It will be filled with this year’s events and celebrate the 75th year of East Meck.
