Blythewood Middle School PTO is excited to kick off our annual fundraiser "Power of Purpose - Next Level" with assemblies to be held with each grade level on August 12. This is our largest (and most fun) fundraiser of the year. Money raised will be used for school-wide activities (PSATs, Grits for Grands, American Education Week, school beautification projects), teacher grants to support student learning experiences, and other initiatives to support BMS.

On August 12, students can look forward to our fundraising partner POP bringing their professional, high-energy, and entertaining presentation to the school for the students to participate in. This is one of the most enjoyable (loud) assemblies of the year.

Our fundraiser will run for 10 days, and in the Spring the school will celebrate our fundraising goal with our school-wide Day of Awesomeness (more information to come).
