Invest in Your Children — Invest in Montera

The Montera Parent-Teacher Organization funds school needs big and small not covered by the school budget — from essential things like books and classroom supplies to the extras that enrich students' lives, like field trips and music programs.  We can't do it without you —your tax-deductible donation ensures that our kids keep on getting the things they need to thrive. Your donation helps sustain our success, including our recognition as a California Distinguished School.

The school budget does not cover many of Montera's vital needs. The PTO does — with your support. Here’s a sampling of the essential programs, activities and clubs the PTO funds or supports:

• Teacher stipends (given to all Montera teachers to cover necessary classroom expenses)
• Teacher and staff mini-grants for events and supplies
• Computers and technology equipment 
• Librarian and books
• Campus grounds and sports field improvements
• Sports — coordinator, team fees, and equipment
• Music program (purchasing and repairing instruments)
• Student scholarships to participate in fee-based programs
• Organizational Planners for every student
• Field trips
• And more!

100% Participation Goal

We recognize that every family has different resources. We welcome your 100% tax-deductible contribution at absolutely any level - every dollar counts.  If you can't donate money, please consider volunteering your time to help with a fundraiser like the school benefit, or participating in a no-cost-to-you fundraising program like SHARES.

Matching Donations are Free Money
