Each year the BMES PTO hosts many events to raise funds to support our academic programs and the 525+ children attending our school. The money raised from this event will support the BMES Arts Programs: Dance, Drama, Art, and Music, in addition to STEAM, edutainment, physical education, field trips, and to aid the support staff in the front office, library, and classrooms.
Without your support, these programs and services may no longer be available to our students as they rely heavily on your donations. |

Why is a fundraiser necessary?
|
|
Each year our PTO oversees many efforts in order to raise the monies needed to support programs that would otherwise not be possible within the school budget. This special event is to ensure funding for our extremely successful Arts Program, specifically our Dance and Drama programs. Every student at Black Mountain Elementary School participates in both programs as well as art, band, and music. We would like to invite you to support this important cause by purchasing your Event Tickets or by providing a Sponsorship and/or Donation for this special fundraising event. |
