REMINDER - Supporting CGMSC PTO
Supporting CGMSC PTO = Supporting Teachers and Students
We’re excited to announce the launch of the CGMSC Booster Club! The goal of this new initiative is to raise funds that support teacher and student needs, particularly through grants for teachers who require additional resources beyond what the school can provide.
So far this year, the PTO has funded:
Teacher Grants:
6th Grade Science Molecule Sets
Sun & Earth Orbital Models
Educational Conferences (Elevating Education 2024)
Legos for the Lego Club
Science carts for 6th-grade yellow team
Book sets for 7th grade special education
Tuners for the 6th-8th grade band
Other PTO Contributions:
Gift cards and prizes for CHAMP Rewards
Meals and drinks for teachers during conference nights
$20 gift cards for each teacher in December
However, there are still several teacher grant requests we cannot fund due to limited resources. To address this, we’re aiming to raise our teacher grant budget from $5,000 to $10,000 by year-end. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the CGMSC Booster Club using the QR code or mail a check to: CGMSC PTO 4900 W Stones Crossing Rd Greenwood, IN 46143.
If you can’t donate, we’d love for you to get involved by attending a monthly meeting or volunteering at an event. Sign up here for PTO dates and info: PTO Communication Sign Up
Thank you for your support!

MSC Families:
Each year, the Center Grove Education Foundation holds a gala to support our schools, and the PTO is excited to contribute by donating a basket for the auction. This year, we’re hoping to create a “Local Business Basket” filled with items and gift cards from businesses in our community.
We need your help! If you are able to donate, please bring items to the front office by April 1st. You can also reach out to the PTO via our social media pages or by email at CGMSCPTO@outlook.com with any questions.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
CGMS PTO
