Your Donations at Work for CHMS Staff and Families
This pie chart illustrates PFO spending during the ‘24-25” school years.
The Cherokee Heights Middle School PFO is supported by the generous donations of families through recurring monthly contributions and fundraising events hosted throughout the year such as the fun run called the Cougar Crawl. The PFO exists to support our school community by funding a variety of activities, supplies, and other staff and family needs. Over the past two years the PFO has distributed more than $30,000 in support.
