Fundraising

2023-2024 Empowering Extraordinary Campaign

The Empowering Extraordinary Campaign is the annual fundraising campaign for the Sedgefield Middle School PTO. The fund provides important financial support to ensure that all Sedgefield Spartans and educators have the tools they need for success. Specifically, these funds help the school sustain and grow academic offerings, enhance enrichment programming, and support athletic activities – all of which provide real and meaningful opportunities for young people in our community.

Funds will go towards:

  • Enrichment experiences beyond what CMS provides
  • Additional teacher training
  • Field Trips for each grade
  • Academic subscriptions
  • Guest speakers
  • Continue and expand collaborative experiences with partners
  • Uniforms and equipment for athletes
  • Resources for clubs
  • Alternative flexible seating
  • Campus & Field improvements
