How You Can Help
Simply put, our students thrive when parents get involved.
While middle school is typically a time for students to become more independent academically and socially, it is also a time when parent support is even more crucial. These are just a few of the many opportunities for parents and families to support our school.
Become a PTSA Member
It's easy to join and there is never any obligation to volunteer. Becoming a MMS PTSA member simply means that you are supporting our students and staff. In addition to becoming part of our PTSA community, membership also gives you a vote at our bi-monthly Association meetings. Students are encouraged to become a member too!
For the 2025-26 school year, membership dues are $12.
Donate to our Annual Campaign
Like many schools, Mendenhall relies on parent and community support to bridge the gap left by state and district funding. That's where our Mighty Mustangs Give campaign comes in. We're asking families to contribute $75 per student, or $150 for households with two or more students. Your donation includes a PTSA membership and helps ensure we can meet our fundraising goals for 2025 and beyond.
Every dollar supports:
- Departmental grants and teacher support
- Student activities, recognition and enrichment
- Campus events, clubs and spirit-building
- Student wellness and campus improvements
Not ready to give $75? No problem -- any amount helps, and your PTSA membership alone ($12) still gives you a vote!
We will gladly accept cash donations and checks made payable to "Mendenhall PTSA" in the Front Office. Thank you for supporting our Mustangs!
Volunteer for PTSA-Sponsored Activities
Volunteering with PTSA is a great way to stay connected to our school community – and get a glimpse of your child’s day-to-day activities – without a long-term commitment. We are always looking for help with fundraising events, family dine-outs, staff luncheons, and more! If you’ve got some time to contribute, please follow the link below to complete our Volunteer Interest Form or reach out to MendenhallPTSA@gmail.com.
Please note, all volunteers must be cleared by the school district. To learn more about volunteer requirements and complete your volunteer application, visit the Volunteer section of the LVJUSD website. All volunteer clearances expire annually on June 30 and must be renewed each school year.
Birthday Marquee and Bingo Nights
Purchase a Birthday Message on our Marquee — Celebrate your student’s special day with an announcement on the school marquee! Your purchase not only makes their day brighter — it also supports PTSA programs for all our students. Please place your order at least one week in advance, to allow us time to process your request.
Bingo Nights at Granada High School — We partner with GHS Boosters to earn a percentage of the proceeds from their Saturday Bingo games. Simply volunteer to help facilitate their event, and MMS PTSA receives a portion of the proceeds. It’s an easy and entertaining way to support our school - no experience necessary; they provide all the training you need! Stay tuned -- We will post updates here and on our social channels, once the schedule has been published.
