Fundraising Buzz

easy ways to earn money for MES

Check This Out

The MPTO recognizes the need to support our children's school financially, while also recognizing that we are living in financially challenging times. For that reason, we promote a fundraising environment that provides a variety of opportunities for every family to contribute. Just by clipping a box top or purchasing a pencil at the school store, you can financially support your child's school. All fundraising proceeds are used to support MES. From these fundraisers, we were able to provide over $20,000 to our teachers and staff as well as purchase over $30,000 of new technology in the past few years. There are many ways you can get involved.

BEE a Partner

The MPTO's capital campaign, BEE a Partner, allows parents to make a tax deductible donation, 100% of which remains with our school. The campaign launches at the start of each school year but MES parents can donate anytime through the school year, and any donation amount is welcomed and greatly appreciated. If your company does a company donation match, please remember to fill it out and we will follow up for the match!

​Shoparoo App

Did you know, when you go grocery shopping you could earn our school money? Or if you go out to eat, you could enter us in a monthly drawing to win $1,000? And that same entry will go towards the end of the year drawing for $15,000! How? Download the Shoparoo app (free) and every time you shop for groceries or go to a restaurant, all you have to do is snap a photo of your receipt on the app. It's that easy! Click here for info and to download the app. ​

School Store

Spirit wear, pencils, erasers and more are always available to you and your child at the MPTO School Store, which is open from 7:15 to 7:45 am every morning.

Merchant Links

​Harris Teeter Vic Cards: When linked to the MES code (1512), a percentage comes back to our school. Please relink your card at the start of each school year. 
Publix Key Chain Fob: When scanned as you check out, a percentage comes back to our school. 

Box Tops

Did you know that every time you buy any General Mills product, clip the Box Top for Education and send it into your child's classroom, you can earn 10 cents for our school? This is an easy way for every family to contribute to MES while enjoying the items they use every day. The MPTO will host several box top drives and prizes throughout the school year so keep an eye out in Tuesday folders for more information. 

​​For the 2019-2020 school year, we are grateful for the continued support of Joe Pomykacz's State Farm office, allowing us to provide fun treats to students who fill in completed Box Tops sheets. The current challenge is linked below.....

Boosterthon Fun Run

​A student favorite and our largest fundraiser of the year, the MPTO's annual Boosterthon Fun Run combines fitness, character education and fun in a fundraising effort. Throughout the campaign, the Boosterthon Fun Run Team Members creatively illustrate leadership, integrity, honor and caring. Parents help their children find friends and family members to sponsor them per lap, and then come cheer them on as they participate in the Fun Run.
