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.
Badger bash annual fundraiser
Our biggest annual fundraiser, Badger Bash is a spectacular time! This celebratory event includes entertainment, a live and silent auction, raffles, games, music and dancing! Open bar and appetizers are included. This event is open to parents, care-givers, teachers, staff and anyone in the community looking to have fun and support our school!
Kona Ice at McPherson Playground
Grab some Kona Ice and give back to FOM. 20% of total sales goes to Friends of McPherson.
