The Metro A&C High School PTO has two fundraising opportunities during the school year to help support our students and teachers:

 

 - The Annual Fund Drive for the 2024/25 school year will begin soon and will end in November.*

 - The Annual Trivia Night is held in the spring and there are many ways to help support it (buy a table, donate an auction item, buy a sponsorship, etc.).

 

Combined, our goal is to raise approximately $40,000-$45,000 each school year.

Our goal is to raise roughly $20,000-25,000 for the 2024/25 school year through our annual Fund Drive to support the initiatives of the Metro High PTO - that's about $55-75 per student. Read below for your options on how to donate to ensure our students and teachers get the support they deserve! At the beginning of the school year, we open up our Fund Drive and ask you to donate whatever you can to help cover our annual PTO budget. No amount is too small - every dollar donated helps us reach our goal! Remember, grandparents, aunts, uncles and family friends can donate too! Or, see if your company will match your donation!

Here's a sample of what your donation helped support during the 2023/24 school year:

  • Teacher appreciation events and gifts
  • Classroom grants to further advance the education and needs of our students
  • Homecoming & Spring Fling dances
  • Freshman picnic
  • School beautification
  • Naviance college planning software
  • Coach appreciation gifts
  • Teacher meals & breakfasts
  • New picnic tables
  • And much more! For a breakdown of our this year's budget, click HERE.

The Metro A&C High School PTO was approved to be a 501(c)3 during the summer of 2023. All donations made directly to Metro PTO will now be considered tax deductible. Donations no longer need to be made through SLPS Foundation.

 

*Donations will be accepted outside those dates, but we try to base the current year budget on what we raise during this time period.
