Annual Donations
For the 2025-2026 school year we do have a fundraiser scheduled. We rotate on a three year cycle. However, some families prefer to opt out of a fundraiser and simply make a donation. All funds are used for school wide initiatives
If you would like to make a donation you can:
- Use the link provided from Cheddar Up
- Make a check payable to CMS PTO and mail to 100 Academic Way, Stratham, NH 03885.
We are a 501C3 and can share our Tax ID number for larger donations from businesses or community members.
CMS PTO FOCUS: CMS Community
-Continue to enhance outdoor learning areas. This fall we have purchased four new picnic tables that will be used by classrooms in the courtyard area.
-Support outdoor recess time by supplying a large outdoor patio recess bin filled with frisbees, kick balls, soccer balls (courtesy of Seacoast United), and footballs. We will continue to add as student requests come in.
-Continue to support enrichment opportunities for students through guest speakers, performers, and more.
FAMILY BINGO NIGHT

The CMS PTO is planning on hosting two family bingo nights this year. Families are able to purchase pizza and snacks here, or bring their own take out or snacks.
This is a free admission event where we encourage families to have some fun.
- Raffle tables are set up with pretty cool swag
- Snacks are available for purchase
Winners walk away with cash!
Dates will be posted once selected.
BOX TOPS ARE GOING PAPERLESS

Box Tops are in the process of decreasing their carbon footprint! The phase-out has begun. New boxes have a scan option that makes collecting Box Tops easy peasy.
We also collect paper ones all year long! Last year we collected $600.00+. Imagine if each of our students were to bring in just 50 Box Tops? We would net $6,500!!
