About the Flat Rock PTO
Get involved with the Flat Rock PTO today and know your student and the school's faculty will have the advantage of parents that are willing to help them succeed. Even in middle school, parents still play an important role.
Research from Harvard University’s Family Research Project indicates "that the children of involved parents tend to do better in school across a number of measures, including a higher overall GPA, better scores on standardized tests, and an increased likelihood of enrolling in college. Engaged parents can also reduce the effects of negative peer pressure that often push kids to become unmotivated in school. Even though students may roll their eyes about moms helping at school, parents can be reassured that their involvement has long-lasting positive effects on their children’s academic motivation and performance."
The Flat Rock PTO is your link to ensuring the students and faculty have the assistance and resources they need to succeed. Get involved in the Flat Rock PTO.

Thank you in your interest in sponsoring our school.
Your donations support our students, teachers, and staff. It will also help us around the school. We would love to fix up the football and baseball fields. The teachers would like an outdoor area to hold class and have lunch outside. We would like to put an awning up at the car drop off area and one near the front entrance to the school.

Our One Big Annual Fundraiser
Knowing that everyone is busy and that having a middle schooler probably means you also support your students extra curricular activities, the PTO decided several years ago to only hold one fundraiser. With the money raised the PTO has been able to fund the purchase of a new digital sign for the school, benches for around the building, and grants for teachers.
Our 2024 fundraiser, Game On will launch August 13th! Check back here in August to sign-up and support our school to help earn funding for :
Physical Education Equipment
Outdoor Classroom seating and activity areas for all grade levels
Double your donation: if your company participates in a matching gift program please submit your Game ON donation receipt to that program to double your contribution to our PTO. The matching funds will go directly to PTO and be considered a parent donation vs Game ON fundraiser directly. Funds will be used to support PTO initiatives for the entire school. Contact name to submit donation to: PTO Treasurer, Jacinta Bouknight Email: frmsptotreasurer@gmail.com EIN#58-2216869
So what is Game On?
GAME ON! is our fitness-based fundraiser, developed to fit the needs of school physical education departments! Focusing on all the awesome things students can do with a healthy mind and body, GAME ON! helps strengthen the connection between fitness and fun! Plus, it allows P.E. departments to raise funds not only for equipment and supplies, but also to continue to fund the causes and charities that matter the most to their school and community. GAME ON! includes health and wellness materials, individual and team prizes, and tons of high quality PE Equipment….including some official American Ninja Warrior items!

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!
On behalf of the Flat Rock Middle School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), let me welcome you to the start of the 2024-2025 school year and a new year of PTO. My name is Tamera Bowman and I will be serving as the PTO President this year. I am looking forward to continuing the working partnership that has been established with the School Board, Administration, our amazing Teachers and our invaluable Staff to provide an excellent learning experience for our children. If this is your first year at Flat Rock Middle School Elementary School, I would like to extend a very warm Flat Rock Eagle welcome to each of you. If you are a returning family, I know that you are as excited as I am to be starting the school year.
As a parent with a child at Flat Rock Middle School, you are automatically a member of the PTO. The Flat Rock Middle School PTO works collaboratively to support the school through many events and volunteer opportunities such as Game ON Fundraiser, Book Fairs, Teacher Appreciation Week, Teacher Classroom grants, Reading Celebration, PBIS Celebration and various other fundraisers throughout the year. We are all parents trying to give our kids the best educational and social experience possible. This could not happen without the donation of time, talent and resources from all of you. We would love for you to show your support by participating in the events and activities planned throughout the year. Your participation might be that of a committee member, volunteer, or as an attendee. Whatever level of participation you select, your time and involvement will certainly be appreciated.
Thank you for all that you do for our Flat Rock Eagles! I am looking forward to a year of growth and excitement in learning as we work together!
With Gratitude,,
Tamera Bowman
