Panther Parents (PTA)

Who We Are

It is so important to stay involved with your child’s education and the happenings at school, and Panther Parents is a fun way to become engaged at NMSHS. We are a non-profit organization that was created for purposes of enhancing the school environment for our students and teachers. We strive to support and enrich the classroom inside and out through student scholarships, as well as to provide resources to make school events that otherwise wouldn’t be possible to create a more rewarding experience for our students, often involving their families and the surrounding communities.

Please join us in creating the best version of our school by supporting the Panther Parents!

We Are More Than Fundraising

• We are liaisons between families, teachers and the school
• We get to support fun activities and celebrations throughout the year for our kids
• We enjoy getting creative to best serve our students, teachers and the school
• We get to partner with and hear first-hand from teachers and school administrators

What Did We Do Last Year?

We supported our Teachers — We provided a holiday lunch, honored and celebrated our amazing Nederland staff during Staff Appreciation Week, and provided staff dinners during parent-teacher conferences.

We supported our Students — We were sponsors of After Prom, contributed to the Cross Country team’s regional race, provided snacks for theater students during the weeks of the Legally Blonde musical performances, and celebrated our students with end-of-year ice cream treats after reaching our Show the Love fundraiser goal.

We strengthened our School & Community — We hosted our Homecoming BBQ, donated funds raised from the BBQ to support local businesses affected by the Caribou Village Shopping Center fire, contributed funds to all the Homecoming floats, provided pizzas for Back to School Night, organized and provided our annual Thanksgiving Harvest Feast, hosted a Valentine’s Day ice cream social for our students and staff, and raised $8,440 through our Show the Love winter fundraiser, exceeding our $8,000 goal.

Membership

All parents/guardians, teachers, staff and community members are welcome to attend Panther Parents meetings. However, becoming a member has advantages! First of all you get to have a say in what we do (ie, you get an official vote).

When you join Panther Parents, you are an automatic member of Colorado PTA and National PTA. There has always been a value to PTA membership - whether it’s getting the skills you need to be a better parent, to help your children succeed academically, to learn ways to improve communication with teachers, to speak out about public school needs in your own town, or to keep your neighborhood safe, you have benefited by being a member.​

Colorado PTA and National PTA are working hard to bring you and your PTA more member benefits than ever before. Now, through alliances and partnerships, Colorado PTA offers tangible benefits and discounts to members like you. Check them out!

Membership dues are $20 for the fiscal year (July 1-June 30). You can either make a check out to NMSHS PTA and bring it to the school office, or use the button below to pay with a credit card.
