PTO Meeting Tonight

April 12, 2022

President's Message

Hello Panda Families!

Our PTO supports so many activities across our campus on an annual basis. This spring alone we’ve helped fund the Pershing theater department’s musical, Wonka, as well as teacher/staff recognition lunches, garden and grounds clean-up at the school, and several grade-level activities.

That is why your support of our biggest spring fundraiser, Bingo Night, is so important. The dollars raised at this event help support activities for ALL students. Please consider donating your time and/or making a monetary donation to support this event. I can’t wait to see all of you on Friday, April 22nd!

Pershing Middle School is grateful to participate in programs that reward our school based on the customer loyalty and patronage of our families. A percentage of the proceeds spent on the rewards programs are donated back to the school. Please review the list of retailers on our PTO website and participate where you can. Remember that grandparents, Pershing alumni, neighbors, and friends also can designate Pershing on most reward programs – spread the word!
