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

Please consider a tax-deductible donation to the CPO to help support Curtis’ cultural, creative, and educational programming. The CPO supports a variety of programs and initiatives, including cultural enrichment, Curtis Messenger, student scholarships, student social events, technology, end-of-year activities, classroom curriculum aids for teachers, UA supplies, recess equipment, teacher appreciation events, library furniture, the student counseling department, the tile project in the school hallways, outdoor beautification projects, and much more. These are all important additions to the Curtis community and they truly improve the students’ experience at Curtis Middle School.
This is all possible because of the generosity of the Curtis parent community. Your money goes directly to work for the students and the school, improving your child’s learning experience. We ask for donations directly in lieu of seeking many volunteers and multiple donations to run an auction, Fun Run, car washes and similar events.
Also, please check if your company offers a match to your donation.
Please support the CPO with a tax-deductible donation! We encourage a $100 donation, but welcome any amount.
