What is PTA’s role in my student’s education? PTA’s mission is “to positively impact the lives of all children and families.”  We work with teachers, administrators, community members, the school district, and of course, our students, to further their education and improve their physical and mental well-being. What does PTA do at Los Cerros? Los Cerros Middle School’s PTA supports a number of programs including: 

• Basket Brigade

• Family Engagement events

• Run for Education

• Hospitality for teacher & staff appreciation events 

• Sister School - Sun Terrace Stem Magnet Elementary School in Concord

• Reflections Art Program

• Red Ribbon Week 

• Words Matter Week 

• 8th Grade Promotion, and more!

Experience the magic of feeding 1,300 people this Thanksgiving. An unforgettable experience for your student and family!

For the last 30 years each fall, the students, families, community and staff of Los Cerros Middle School have worked together to accomplish a very special project called The Basket Brigade. This project supplies all the fixings for a Thanksgiving meal and delivers to underserved families throughout the East Bay. It is a wonderful way to help our children give back to their community. The Friday before Thanksgiving, all baskets will be delivered by our parents to local shelters for families suffering from domestic violence and homelessness and to local organizations providing help to low-income families. These shelters and organizations are located in Concord, Martinez and Livermore. Last year, we delivered 325 baskets and fed over 1,300 people

PIZZA Party Points

Students will receive 1 point for every item they bring to the school and 1 point for every dollar that we receive in gift cards. We track the points by homeroom teacher. The homeroom teacher that has the most points at the end of the collection period will receive a pizza party for their 1st period students. The competition is fierce to earn the prize of the top donator so make sure your student doesn't miss out!  Remember, the most important thing is that your student understands *why* we're donating.  It's not really for the pizza - it's for the satisfaction of knowing that our neightbors will be able to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal that they might not otherwise have.
