THE COUGAR COMMITMENT &n= bsp;

THE CMS ANNUAL PTA FUND-RAISING DRIVE &= nbsp; &nbs= p;

To all CMS Parents:

We have continued to hear from many families that they= would prefer to write one check rather than participating in wrapping paper drives and other door-to-door fundraisers. Therefore, The Cougar Commitment will be the only school-wide P.T.A. fundraiser for the year. The Cougar Commitment campaign will give each family the opportunity to make a contribution that will have an immediate impact on Cockeysville Middle Scho= ol.

In our first year of this direct approach CMS families generously donated over $11,000. Last year you continued your support and generosity to raise $12,000. We are hoping to increase this by at least $3,= 000 during the 2008/09 school year. With those funds we hope to:

- Publish and e-mail the CMS monthly newsletter that will = keep you better

informed of school activitie= s,

- Publish the Student Direc= tory,

- Support student awards pr= ograms, individual departments, social and cultural

events, and grounds beautification= .

We are requesting a donation of $40.00 per student. If you would lik= e to give more, your generosity would be especially helpful. Donations of any amount are accept= able and all contributions are greatly appreciated!

Please use the tear-off below to send in your donation= to the school’s main office. Make checks payable to CMS PTA.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

All donations are tax-deductible
