The FMS PTO throws some of the school’s best social events, like the 6th Grade Social and the 8th Grade Dance. But the majority of PTO’s funding goes toward critical student athletics and arts activities, school departments, and extracurricular clubs. As you probably already know, participation in sports, the arts and other organized activities builds confidence, develops leadership skills and promotes teamwork.

What you may not be aware of is that these students are also more likely to complete high school and go to college, but are less likely to smoke, use drugs or become involved in violent activity like gangs. These are outcomes that we all want for our own children, so let’s work together and set Folsom Middle School’s students up for success!
