We Help for a Cause

Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year!

The Parent-Teacher Organization of Sonoran Trails Middle School (STMS) is comprised of parents, community members, and staff who collaborate to provide students with additional enrichment opportunities beyond their existing curriculum. Everyone who has a child at STMS is automatically a member of the PTO.

 

The PTO bridges the annual funding gap of hundreds of thousands of dollars that is not allocated to schools, teachers, and families due to the service area's median income. STMS PTO fundraising is crucial to many programs that students love and look forward to, providing additional financial support for technology, books, landscaping, equipment, and more. 

 

The PTO Board meets monthly to discuss all matters of PTO business. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend any Board meeting. PTO meetings are generally held on the second Friday of each month. If you plan to attend, please send us a note so we can tell you the meeting location. 

The PTO is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.

 

In this time of 'state educational budget reductions', schools have had to do with less. This is why the PTO provides funds to give students the best possible education through enrichment programs and services.

2026-2027

This coming school year, our fundraising efforts will be dedicated to supporting our teachers and staff with needed classroom upgrades, including tables, desks and seating. 

Your support and contributions will be instrumental in achieving these vital upgrades and ensuring a safe, secure school environment for everyone.
Total PTO Financial Goal = $50,000

Last year, we were pleased to be able to fund security upgrades around campus! We purchased 4 new security cameras to monitor high-traffic areas, as well as new window coverings for all classrooms and the front office. Additionally, we were able to replace the appliances in the Life Skills classroom! They received a new refridgerator, range, and dishwasher.
