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.
