Skinner Middle School PTO

Thank you for giving to the Skinner Middle School PTO! We are grateful for your contributions, large or small. Our annual goal is $20,000, and this year we have a stretch goal of $30,000 to help support new budget requests like these:

New Classroom Smart BoardsField TripsOutdoor Games & Tables

Skinner families and supporters near and far,

We are grateful for you visiting this page and for your support of Skinner Middle School. Skinner is a diverse community of learners where our staff and students are engaged in a single-minded pursuit of high academic achievement for all.

This Colorado Gives Day campaign is our main fundraiser for the Skinner community. Every dollar raised goes toward the programs that enable our kids to enjoy a fulfilling educational experience at Skinner.

Our Annual Budget is a mere $20,000, so our stretch goal this year is $30,000. If we achieve our goal, we will be able to fund new asks from the school's budget wish list. Every donation received through Dec 10th will be matched through the million dollar Colorado Gives Foundation incentive fund. 

If your circumstances allow, we kindly ask you to consider a donation of $200 per student either as a one time donation, or as a recurring donation of $17 per month. Your generosity will enable us to continue our vital work in supporting Skinner students and teachers in meaningful ways. If not $200, we are grateful for any contribution you can make toward our goal.

This Year’s Skinner Budget Wish List:

• Classroom Smart Boards (education experience) - One-time Purchase

• Field trips (education experience) - Annual Expense

• Outdoor game tables (social emotional) - One-time Purchase

• Core Plus Program support (education experience) - Annual Expense

• Technology to support the Music and Art Program (education experience) - One-time Purchase

In addition to these specific items, here are just a few examples of how the Skinner PTO helps support our students and teachers:

• Funding Programs and Staff to Support Social Emotional Needs for Skinner Students
• Teacher Grants for Classroom Innovation Not Funded by the District
• Teacher & Staff Appreciation Events
• Support for Clubs and Athletics

See more information on each of these efforts below by scrolling to Organization Data and then click Programs on the left side.

The Skinner PTO Annual Give through CO Gives day is our annual once a year fundraiser, and we are asking you to donate to make all of this possible. We are truly grateful for the support that this community shows our students. 

It is important to note that spending to support any of the above listed programs is entirely dependent on how much money is raised and working with the school on timing and feasibility. Some projects may require a multi-year roll-out depending on funding.

Thank you for your support,

The Skinner PTO Parent Volunteers
