Direct Impact Giving

Direct Impact Giving is CMES's main fundraiser. We use DIG to help bridge the gap between the needs of our school and what the district provides. We want CMES to remain a top-notch school!

You can donate as much as possible and know that any amount helps!
ALL donations go directly to meeting the needs of our school.
No door-to-door selling, collecting, or delivering.
Your donation is completely tax-deductible.
Many employers will match donations, as the Cox Mill Elementary PTO is a 501(c)3 charitable organization.

Teachers and staff members pose with newly funded PTO grant supplies, including PBIS celebration materials, classroom measurement containers, yardsticks, and testing dividers that will support student learning and positive school experiences at Cox Mill Elementary.

How Have We Used Funds Recently?

The Student Wellness Committee received supplies for quarterly PBIS celebrations, including activity kits, bubbles, popcorn supplies, and sidewalk chalk stencils. These celebrations reinforce positive behavior and support schoolwide PBIS and Positivity Project initiatives for all CMES students.
Fourth-grade math received new storage containers for metric weights used in hands-on measurement activities. The updated containers will help keep materials organized and accessible for student learning during the 2026–27 school year.
Additional classroom resources were also funded for the upcoming school year, including yardsticks and testing dividers to support math instruction and provide students with a more comfortable and focused testing environment.
The media center has received a Cover One book repair machine, which allows us to restore damaged books by reattaching loose pages and reinforcing bindings. This resource will help extend the life of our library collection and ensure students across all grade levels continue to have access to high-quality materials.
A new electric pencil sharpener has been added to the K–1 workroom. This simple but impactful addition helps keep classrooms running efficiently so students always have ready-to-use materials for their work.
We have also added new outdoor picnic tables, creating more opportunities for students to enjoy lunch outside and engage in learning in a fresh, flexible environment.
