About the PTSA

Purpose

The purpose of the Metro PTSA is to support and enrich the educational experiences of all students; build community among students, families, and staff; facilitate collaboration and communication between families and staff; and raise money to support student activities at both Metro Middle School and Metro Early College High School.

Membership

We would love to have your participation to help make the Metro community strong.  Your $20 family membership is tax deductible and supports activities at Metro including student clubs, field trips, dances, staff appreciation events, and more.

2024 PTSA Events

All Metro families are invited to join us at the PTSA Meet & Greet Social on Thursday, August 15, 2024. Stop in any time between 4pm-6pm to meet staff and other Metro families while you enjoy a cold Italian ice treat from Rita's! Be sure to stop by the PTSA booth for membership information.

The "Taste of Metro Dessert Edition" is a gathering of families to experience the many cultures in our school through sharing traditional dishes. The fall 2024 event is scheduled for the evening of November 19, so save the date and plan to join us! Each family is asked to contribute a dessert to share that represents their culture or country or origin. The PTSA is excited to continue this social event to celebrate our school's diversity.

Volunteer Opportunities

There are many opportunities to volunteer in the Metro Community.  The Middle School is always looking for parents/guardians to serve as helpers during lunch periods. We also welcome parking lot helpers during school pickup in the afternoons. Please contact the PTSA(pstametro@gmail.com) if you are interested in these opportunities. We will share additional ways to help throughout the year in the weekly Metro Family Newsletter.

OSU Football Fundraiser

PTSA's biggest fundraiser of the year is selling parking on our lot for Ohio State home football games. There are two ways you can help:

• Volunteer: Use this link for the Metro Football Parking Volunteer Sign Up. Parent and student helpers are wanted for each home game, so you are welcome to sign up as a family. If your student belongs to a club that wants to request funds from the PTSA, encourage them to volunteer as a group with other club members.

• Tell your friends to park at Metro: If you know Buckeye fans attending a home game, encourage them to park at Metro to support our students. It's a short walk to the stadium!
