Welcome to our new Rachel Carson students and families! All current parents and guardians of CPMS students are automatically members of the PTC.

Our events, programs, school support, and enthusiasm make up this vibrant volunteer community and are indeed, POWERED BY YOU.

1. Our 5K will bet here before we know it! Sign up this week in Pledgestar to get hooked up to donate for our one and only fundraiser of the school year! Read more about it below and check out our 5K webpage for more detailed information.

2. Get involved! Our first Community PTC meeting of the year is this week on Tuesday, September 21st. Watch for the Zoom link the night of and tune in to hear more about the PTC's plans for the school year to support our students and teachers.

The 5K is the PTC's main source of fundraising! No wrapping paper, no candy, no magazine subscriptions....THIS IS IT!
