The Curtis Parent Organization (CPO) is a nonprofit organization, run by volunteers, comprised of parents and guardians of Ephraim Curtis Middle School students.
Our mission is to support the school with volunteers and funding for events and activities, enrichment programs, scholarships, and items for the teachers, staff, and administration that will enrich students’ experiences.
Our primary goals are to:
- Provide scholarships for students
- Offer cultural and creative enrichment programs
- Fund items not covered in the SPS budget
- Thank the teachers, staff, and administration with appreciation events
- Foster a sense of community within our school

We are looking for volunteers to help with grade-specific fundraising efforts at Curtis, such as an "-athon" event for each grade (think jog-athon, dance-athon, or read-athon). If you're a 6th, 7th, or 8th grade caregiver who would like to help plan an event for your student's grade, please contact us!
The CPO also organizes quarterly staff appreciation events, and we're looking for a volunteer who could lead May staff appreciation.
Please contact board@curtiscpo.org to learn more or if you're interested.
