Join us in an epic adventure to find 10 Mustangs hidden throughout our community!
Who: Any Merton School family is welcome to participate!
Where: Mustangs will be hidden throughout the Merton School District boundaries, plus an extra Mustang not too far away in a neighboring town.
How: You'll use clues to search throughout the district to find secret Mustangs.
Each time you find a Mustang and fill out the form, you will be entered to win the grand prize.
The hunt runs from Friday, May 23 till midnight on Saturday, May 31!
Please take a moment to complete our short survey. Your feedback plays a big role in shaping future PTO events and activities.
Every event takes time, energy, and often funding to pull off—and we want to focus on what truly matters to our Merton families. Help us make smarter plans by letting us know what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d love to see more of.
We need volunteers to send our staff off on their summer breaks with a final delicious meal. Let's celebrate an amazing school year!
Date: Friday, June 6, 2025
Opportunities available: Helpers to man the grill, set up the buffet, serve the meal, contribute to the menu
Come hang with your former & future classmates this summer while enjoying popsicles! No registration required.

Our Team is looking for a person (or team!) who'd like to take the lead on Fundraising effort for the Merton PTO.
There's opportunity for you to have part in deciding our key fundraising ventures. The Chairperson essentially functions as a "Supervisor" with "Project Managers" supporting in each of the individual fundraising efforts. In recent years, the Fundraising Team has coordinated:
Mum Sale (September)
Raise Craze (late September-mid-October)
Spring Fundraiser (this year was Comedy for a Cause, April)
Monthly restaurant nights (Culver's Nights)
Spirit Wear (historically offered late summer + in time for Christmas)
There's certainly opportunity to change what we've done and/or try new things! We are open to your enthusiasm and ideas!
Please reach out to us if you'd like to learn more or chat with any of our PTO leadership team.

We're always adding new opportunities here, so please be sure to check it out!
