100 Years of Panther Pride
Join the Pride
The drive runs through Friday, November 20, and the drawings happen that day. Join by then and you are entered in every drawing, and your advisory counts toward the pizza parties.
Memberships are welcome all year. November 20 is a deadline for the drawings, not for joining. Sign up in February and you are every bit as much a member, you just missed that round of prizes.
Every member gets
- Automatic entry Into every drawing for the whole drive
- A vote On how the PTSO runs, at every general membership meeting
Students: your $5 pays for itself
Every student member gets a free out of uniform wristband for Friday, November 20, the DC vs Marvel day. A wristband costs $5 on its own, so a $5 membership covers itself before anything else is counted.
Join by Wednesday, November 18 to get it. That is earlier than the drive deadline on purpose: wristbands are handed out at the Auditorium table before school, and the last pickup is 12:45 PM on Thursday the 19th. Give your name at the table, there is nothing to buy.
Students: the advisory competition
The winning advisories get a pizza party. Advisories are measured on the percentage of students who join, not headcount, so a small advisory is not at a disadvantage.
No student is turned away for being unable to pay. Ask your advisory teacher, a counselor, or any officer. Nobody will be told.
You can pay online, or hand $5 cash to your advisory teacher. Pick your advisory teacher on the form so your membership counts toward their party.
Faculty and staff: unlock the baskets
Every person who joins improves everyone's odds. A basket full of classroom and office supplies, Murphy swag, and more!
| Staff enrolled | Baskets |
|---|---|
| 15 | 2 |
| 30 | 4 |
| 45 | 6 |
| 60 | 8 |
| 75 or more | 10 |
Teachers, admin, counselors, front office, paraprofessionals, custodial, cafeteria, bus drivers and security all count. Baskets are drawn on November 20 and handed out Monday, November 30, the first day back after the break.
Individual members: a chance at a free yearbook
Members are entered in a drawing for a free yearbook on Friday, November 20. One yearbook will be drawn, and a second if enough members join. If your name comes up and you have already ordered yours, you get a credit for the same amount to spend on anything else we sell: out of uniform days, Panther Pizza Pitstop, Panther Donuts, spirit wear.
Your membership. Your vote. Members vote on how this organization runs. That is in our bylaws, and it is the part almost nobody says out loud.

Meeting schedule
General membership meetings are the second Tuesday of every month at 6:00 PM in the MHS Bistro, open to every Murphy family, member or not. No childcare provided. The Executive Board meets the last Wednesday of every month, July through June. Where it meets is decided close to the date, often during a school break and sometimes online, so the location shows as TBD until it is set; board meetings are for Executive Board members.
