Welcome to Bryson Middle's PTSA

We're proud to be a part of the National PTA which is the largest volunteer child advocacy organization in the United States. A not-for-profit association of parents, educators, students, and other citizens active in their schools and communities, PTA is a leader in reminding our nation of its obligations to children.

The BMS PTSA supports the school in many ways. From fundraising events like Spirit Week to teacher appreciation meals, our volunteers work hard to enrich the lives of all BMS community members. All parents, teachers, and students are encouraged to join our local PTSA chapter. Each membership is just $5 and helps us go a long way to help our school. Won't you join today.

Just refer to the order form linked below. You can order a plain sweatshirt(i.e. no embroidery) or and embroidered sweatshirt, and/or a plain hoodie or embroidered hoodie. Friday, September 14th children and/or parents can come to the front office from 7:30-8:30 am and 2:45-3:30 pm to look at color choices and sizes. We ask that if you need to look at the color or size that you try to come during those times. The examples will stay in the front office the entire 2 weeks if you cannot make it on the 14th. All orders are due by Friday, September 21st. We will get orders back to students as soon as we can.

As you can see on the order form we are selling car magnets and cinch sacks(used normally for gym clothes), both with or school logo. Show your school spirit and order one today.

Hat day every day, sunglasses day, "buy your way out of class" day, teacher dunk tank at courtyard time, just to name a few things going on that week. Last year alone, our students help us raise over $15,000 in just one short week. Won't you help us again this. Let's see if we raise even more this year. Look for more information to come. Tickets and wristbands go on sale September 26 during courtyard time. Students, be sure to buy yours then.

Keep one of the Bi-Lo BoosterPlus cards for yourself and pass out the rest to family/friends. Take one of the BoosterPlus scan cards along with you Bi-Lo Bonus Card the next time you shop. Have the cashier scan the BoosterPlus card (just that one time) the same time they scan your Bonus Card. You're now in the system to help earn money for our school. Every time you use your Bonus Card after that, Bi-Lo will donate 1% of your purchase back to BMS PTA.

Box Tops/Campbell's Soup Labels

Don't throw away cash that may be lying around your house, donate it to BMS. When you turn in Box Tops (worth 10 cents each), Campbell's Soup Labels and used up ink cartridges (worth 50 cents to $5), you help earn money for our school. Please take the time to save these items and turn them in (to the school office) as often as you like. The more we have, the more money we earn. Be sure to place them in a Zip-Loc bag with the student's name and homeroom on it. There will be some special incentives for those classes who raise the most throughout the year.
