FOM Events
Friends of McPherson hosts all sorts of events throughout the school year to both raise money for our school and to strengthen our community.
Through these great events (which we also have tons of fun at!), we are thrilled to be able to support our school in various ways including teacher enrichment, supplying technology to classrooms, hosting teacher and staff appreciation events, supporting classroom needs, bus and field trip support, school beautification, after school programming, and curriculum enrichment and enhancement.
Walk-a-thon
It’s time for our annual Walk-A-Thon! On Thursday, October 10th (rain date 10/11), all students will head outside with their classrooms and walk around the playground to raise funds for our school and to encourage our kids to get moving! In the meantime, we are asking students to reach out to friends, family & neighbors to donate to their cause and help them reach their goal! Click here to find out more and register!
