Welcome to Carrington's PTA!

We are a non-profit chartered through the North Carolina PTA dedicated to making sure all students at Carrington Middle School have the opportunity to thrive.

This is an amazing school with incredible staff, teachers, students, and families and we are excited about the ways we can work together to make it even stronger!

Here is how you can help:

• Please join Carrington’s PTA online https://glcpta.givebacks.com/ Membership is $10 per person.

• You can also donate to the PTA online or buy a T-shirt at the same link: Givebacks - Support the causes you care about. Please consider donating if you are able.

• Please consider joining a committee. A signup for committees: Committee Sign Up Form. Descriptions are also below. Please know we understand you are all busy and have designed committees to enable volunteers to spend as much (or as little) time as you can realistically give.

PTA goals for the 2026-2027 academic year:

1. Supporting teachers with grants and supplies

   • Our teachers are often paying out of pocket to support students and their classrooms. Our goal is to raise money to give each teacher a grant to spend as they need.
   • We will also support teachers through partnering with the non-profit Crayons2Calcutors which donates supplies to teachers. PTA volunteers will “shop” for supplies from teacher wishlists and deliver them to the school.

2. Staff and teacher appreciation events

   • We will organize activities to show appreciation to teachers and staff including during Teacher Appreciation Week.

3. Community support

   • We support student needs such as field trip sponsorship, coat drives, stocking a nursing station and clothing closet, supplies, athletics, arts, celebrations such as honor roll or attendance, etc.

4. Beautification efforts

   • We are organizing three workdays a year for volunteers to help on our grounds, including our athletic fields.

5. Create a sustainable and strong PTA

   • We are creating structures that make it easy to pass along PTA responsibilities year to year. Plus, we’ll make sure we remain compliant with standards that ensure our PTA maintains its non-profit status.
