Time to Appreciate Our teachers
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, there is no better time to show our gratitude for what our teachers have done and continue to do for our children. Every year, we used to host a Thanksgiving lunch with your help for our teachers and members of staff. But Covid-19 has forced us all to show our love and appreciation from a distance. Here's your chance to show you care. You can find the link here: Sponsor a Teacher or Staff membership.
Thank you to everyone who has already sponsored a teacher or a staff member this year. We are grateful!

It's Not Too Late to Participate in Pass the Hat
Thank you to everyone who has already donated to the Evergreen PTSA this school year. We are not quite at our fundraising goal, and it is not too late to donate and help us reach our goal. If you have funds set aside for charities this year, please consider using some of them to support Evergreen PTSA. Your donations allow our PTSA to provide academic enrichment and curriculum enhancement at Evergreen Middle School. If you would like to donate, please visit our Fundraising Web Page.
Double Your Impact
Many local companies in our area will match financial and volunteer hours made by our parents here at Evergreen Middle School. This essentially doubles your contribution to the enrichment of our school! Each company does this in a slightly different way, but they all mean one thing - more resources available for our students, teachers, and community. Click here for a better understanding of this easy process.
