THE 100 CAMPAIGN
This year we are launching our 100 CAMPAIGN which is a direct donation fundraiser. 100% of your donation will stay at our school to be used by both PTSA and Panther Partners, the booster club of CCMS. This year the PTSA will not be running any other fundraisers and will rely solely on your contributions to fund our programs. In order to provide quality experiences for our 1700 students, we need to raise $100,000. There is no minimum amount, and every dollar counts! Thank you for giving generously today! Your contribution made before the end of the year is 100% deductible on your 2019 taxes. Donate today through this link which will take you to the Panther Partners donation page.
HOW TO JOIN
Your annual membership dues of $8.00 help to support so many wonderful programs, events, and opportunities at our school. A portion of your dues stays at our school, and the rest goes to support the work and services of the California State PTA and National PTA. We would love for your family to be an active part of our team! You can join using one of these three ways:
