SRMS PTO News

Hello, Sunrise Middle School Families!

We hope this message finds you well. In November, we concluded the Step It Up! fundraiser and thanks to your participation, were able to raise $13,513 in donations! We also raised $103.61 for the SRMS STUGO at the Hot Chicken Alley dine-out and $250.00 for the SRMS PTO at the Lookout Tavern dine-out and trivia night. So far this year, we've raised over $1,900 from the dine-out fundraisers! We've heard from many of you that parents and students have enjoyed connecting with other families at these dine-outs. The givebacks are a bonus and support various clubs and programs at our school. Thanks again for your participation and enabling the PTO to continue supporting the Sunrise community! Just a reminder that you can donate anytime to the SRMS PTO HERE at Zeffy.

Please check out the newsletter for December and January happenings. Wishing everyone a blessed holiday season!

In Partnership,

Funds given to the SRMS PTO go to all of these amazing programs. If you can help us achieve our Direct Give Drive Goal, please consider donating!

These fundraisers allow all of us to win! Companies give portions of the sales that are generated during one of our fundraisers to a specific program, club, or event at Sunrise Middle School... and there's one night where we don't have to think of what to cook or have any dishes to do! See below for the upcoming dine-out fundraisers and what programs at SRMS they are supporting. Thank you!
