The direct appeal is the CPO’s main fundraising mechanism to support cultural and creative enrichment programs, scholarships, teacher appreciation events, and much more. Direct appeal requests are sent out at the beginning of the school year, along with the directory verification and ordering process, and reminders are sent throughout the year. Donations may be made at any time online, or by check payable to Curtis Parent Organization. Checks can be mailed to the CPO (at Curtis) or sent directly with students to be delivered to the Curtis main office.
