PTA Information

PTA membership dues for the '07 - '08 school year is $7.00.  Along with your membership card, you will receive a CMES paw print car magnet. 

By joining the Carroll Manor Elementary School PTA you make a commitment to support our school community.  With that membership, you are given a voice in your child's education.  The CMES PTA sponsors a variety of cultural arts presentations to students throughout the year as well as informational meetings for parents.  Our PTA even assists with the cost of field trips, student supplies (such as homework agendas), equipment and materials for teachers.  This is made possible through the hard work and generosity of all who participate in CMES PTA fundraisers. 

The CMES PTA goals and objectives for the '06 - '07 year are as follows:

• Increase membership 10% above last year's membership total.
• Assist with at least one project that benefits a community group or individual in Frederick County, preferably in our feeder group.
• Assist the staff with increasing the number of student Field Trips with our new committee.
• Improve the wellbeing of our students and family members by having at least one evening of educational programs on health and family issues.
