A Message From Our Fundraising Chairs
Help us reach our $10,000 goal!

Each year we ask West Middle parents, caregivers, grandparents and community supporters to donate to our Direct Giving campaign. These donations help fund educational resources not provided by the school district. 

Last year's donations helped to fund a canopy for outdoor learning, along with educational grants to teachers to enhance virtual learning. The PTO is appreciative of those donations and excited to provide these educational resources! 

Donations for the '20-'21 school year Direct Giving Campaign are now being accepted. 

or

  • Go to the Parkway West Middle PTO web page, select Donate to Direct Giving campaign on the left side menu, and follow the instructions to pay online. Additional instructions to pay by cash or check are available if that is preferred.

We are appreciative of anything you can give! Also, if your employer does gift matching, be sure to submit a request to match your donation to increase our efforts!

Thank you for supporting the West Middle community!
