Volunteer

Children learn more and have better lives when parents and school staff work together. Making Burleigh Manor Middle School a stronger educational community, many parents and staff members join our PTA each year. Throughout the year, the PTA provides opportunities for volunteer involvement and support to BMMS, including funding for the student planners, cultural arts programs, special classroom supplies, teacher hospitality and school equipment.
