GOT SNEAKERS? PMES NEEDS THEM MARCH 13TH-APRIL 14TH!

Kids outgrown their shoes? Looking for a way to get rid of them? DON'T THROW THEM AWAY! Donate them to PMES' GOT SNEAKERS CAMPAIGN and help raise money for our school's PE program!

All reusable sneakers from our sneaker drive fundraiser program are recirculated to secondhand markets so people can access quality, pre-owned footwear at affordable prices. All heavily used and damaged footwear is recycled to reuse materials or to convert waste into new energy. In return, PMES will receive compensation for each pair of shoes we donate to Got Sneakers.

How can you help? We need your old sneakers and footwear! Collection bins will be set up in the front lobby for each grade level starting March 13th and there will be a school-wide competition to see which grade level donates the highest number of shoes!

THINK YOUR KIDS' SHOES ARE TOO FAR GONE? Think again! Check out the images below to see just a few of the many types of shoes that can be donated! Stay tuned for more information on our Facebook page as this campaign approaches!

SPIRIT NIGHT AT CULVER'S MALL OF GEORGIA

Join us on Thursday, April 13th from 5-8PM  for Spirit Night at Culver's Mall of Georgia!  Bring your family out for dinner and custard.  As one of our generous business partners, Culver's will donate a portion of all proceeds back to PMES PTA.  What a SWEET deal!

PTA Membership

What Does Membership Mean...

We hope that in the coming year, you will help us continue giving our school incredible support by volunteering your time and talents, contributing financially or both. 


Here are some of the ways you can play a role in our school’s success: 


Join the PTA. This is a simple step that you can take on MemberHub. It only costs $7 per child, parent, or family member to join, and you are not required to attend meetings. As a PTA member, you can serve on one of our committees, vote on matters brought before the PTA, benefit from several discounts, or simply show that you support our school. Click on the Membership tab to learn more and become a member today!


Volunteer. Our programs are only successful because of our volunteers! We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities ranging from those that can be done at home to those that require a few hours at school and those that require lots of time at school. In your child’s classroom at Open House, you will see a form where you can sign up to volunteer in a way that works for you. 

PTA Donations

Did You Know?

The goal of the PTA is to enhance the educational experience for all students at Puckett's Mill. Thanks to a lot of generous support from families like yours, the PTA sponsors and provides:


~Fall Festival
~Father Daughter Dance
~Mother-Son Event
~Scholastic Book Fair
~Yearbook
~Dads on Duty 
~Bingo Night
~Cultural Arts
~Class holiday parties (Student Enrichment Fund)
~Staff Appreciation Week
~Bus Driver Appreciation Day
~Teacher lunches
~Spirit Nights
~And much more...


At the end of each school year, any remaining PTA funds are donated back to PMES. While the PTA does make donations to the school throughout the year for very specific uses (music program, media center, etc.), the end of year donation is to be used exclusively for educational materials and support. 


At the November PTA meeting, the members in attendance heard a report on how last year's PTA donation to PMES has been spent.  To date, the school has used the funds to purchase the following: 


`$5,900 has been used to purchase subscriptions to Scholastic News, Storyworks and Dynamath
`$11,800 has been used to purchase digital licenses for programs such as RazKids, Learning A-Z, Freckle Math, Brain Pop and Starfall
~$3,000 has been used to purchase classroom supplies such as STEM toy building blocks for 1st grade, LEGO chain reaction kits for STEM and color sorting animals for the self contained classrooms


The school will continue to purchase educational materials throughout the year as needs arise.  


We're grateful for the community we have at PMES to be able to support our teachers, staff and students this way.  We truly believe PMES is a special place and it wouldn't be the same without all of you!  

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at pmesptaexecutiveboard@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 

Yes, we encourage you to purchase a PTA membership for each parent and all students who attend PMES as our PTA bylaws do not allow "Family Memberships." To join, click on the Membership tab above or visit our MemberHub site at https://puckettsmill.memberhub.com/.  Please select the appropriate member type (either "Parent/Guardian" or "Student"). We appreciate your support!


Each membership helps strengthen our community as we strive to enhance student learning and enrich the lives of ALL of our students.


Members are able to vote on matters that help support our students, staff, and school-while also receiving PTA  perks, such as discounts on event tickets, coupons from our Business Partners, monthly drawings to win prizes, and much more.
