Your Donations Make an Impact
Here’s your chance to support our East Meck family with a contribution to the PTSO’s Direct Giving campaign. You can make a direct donation straight to the PTSO general fund—nothing to sell, nothing to buy. Here’s a sampling of what the Direct Giving funds support:
-
Teacher grant program to support their unmet needs
-
Staff appreciation events
-
Supplies, health room necessities, and room decor
-
Grounds upkeep and beautification
-
Various student run activities
Help make an impact! Consider making a tax-deductible donation to the PTSO Direct Giving campaign and check with your employer to see if they will match your gift.
You can drop off a check at the front office or donate online: https://emptso.org/donate |
