Support Us

One of the missions of the PTO is to raise money each year to help fund classroom projects, materials, field trips, guest speakers, and community events that fall outside the school budget.  We rely entirely on donations and fundraising activities that take place throughout the year and 100% of the funds we raise goes directly to benefit the students (past, present, and future) of the McDevitt Middle School.

If you are the parent or guardian of a student enrolled in the middle school, you are considered a member!  We will no longer be charging membership fees.  A donation of $10 per student is suggested, but we welcome donations of any amount, anytime.  

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and donations may be tax-deductible.

• VOLUNTEER! The PTO is 100% run by volunteers who donate their time, efforts, and funds to this vital source of support for our school.  We realize our community includes households with busy schedules!  To help all of our members find meaningful ways to volunteer, our PTO organizes a wide variety of opportunities (large and small) that accommodate diverse schedules and time constraints.  Pitch in for a one-time event, or join a planning committee! Please consider volunteering at least once this year.
