The mission of the Altadeña Middle School PTSO is to provide its members with opportunities to achieve excellence in a safe, nurturing, and respectful environment that encourages life-long learning and builds valuable citizens. Fulfilling our mission requires a commitment from students, staff, parents, and community members working together.
Our PTSO has a goal of raising $30,000 this fall to accomplish the following tasks:
Provide almost $10,000 for all our teachers to buy school supply; that’s $200 per classroom
Fund capital improvement projects such as a scorers table for our athletics program, a sound system for the theater and arts department, and new uniforms for the JV basketball team
A monthly appreciation breakfast/luncheon for all teachers and staff (75 ppl)
$1000 to purchase rewards for the good behavior incentive program. (The program is expanding into the community this fall. Business owners near the school will be given rewards to hand out to Altadeña students who showcase stellar behavior outside the classroom.)
Snacks for almost a thousand students during three days of lengthy state testing
Financial support for the Altadeña Cares Fund for students facing financial hardship
Grant funds for the school nurse, principal, and front office staff
$2,000 per grade for students to take a field trip
$20 gift card for each member of our front office staff at the end of the school year as a thank you
Rewards for our teachers and staff during teacher appreciation week
Funds to support back-to-school night (such as creating custom apparel to build school spirit), a spring community event, and the 8th-grade promotion dance.
