Cabin John Middle School

Join the CJMS Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA)! 

CJMS PTSA is a major source of funding and volunteer power for school events, cultural arts programs, student activities, staff appreciation, advocacy, and academic enrichment. This year we plan to invest more than $40,000 in Cabin John but we can only do this with your help!  

Membership dues only account for 15% of our budget. Most of our funding comes from membership donations so please consider donating if you are able. Every membership and donation makes a difference in our ability to support Cabin John. Membership is annual and must be renewed each school year. 

Join Online using Membership Toolkit

We’re looking for volunteers to help with events and programs! By volunteering your time, you support your child’s education, build community, and make important connections between home and school. Whether it’s for a couple hours or a larger role, we need your help to make this year great! Sign up to volunteer here.

To learn more about PTSA, join us for our first PTSA meeting on Tuesday, October 13. Questions? Send an email to Rachel Azoff, PTSA VP of Membership and Fundraising or Debbie Fleischer, PTSA President.

CJMS PTSA Year in Review

As the school year comes to a close, the Cabin John PTSA would like to thank our entire school community for your support this year. Whether you attended an event, volunteered your time, became a member, or made a donation, your involvement helped make this a successful year for our students, staff, and families.

A special thank you goes to our dedicated PTSA Board, committee chairs and volunteers, whose countless hours behind the scenes made our programs and events possible. We are also incredibly grateful to our school administration, teachers, and staff for their partnership, encouragement, and support throughout the year.

Thank you for being part of another great year at Cabin John!

Congratulations to our 8th Graders!

To our amazing 8th graders, thank you for the energy, spirit, and memories you’ve brought to Cabin John Middle School. As you prepare to take the next step to high school, we are excited to celebrate all you’ve accomplished.

We’re glad so many of you enjoyed the 8th grade trip to Hershey Park, and we were proud to help fund the commemorative class t-shirts. We also heard the 8th grade dance was a huge success! Thank you to our Student Government Association for planning such a memorable event. The PTSA was pleased to provide $1,500 in support to help make the celebration possible.

Best of luck to all of our rising high school students—we can’t wait to see all that you accomplish!

3 Volunteers Needed to Complete our Annual Financial Review

Each year, the Cabin John PTSA wraps up the fiscal year with a required financial review. It’s a quick, straightforward process (not an audit!), and you don’t need to be a financial expert to help out. 

We’re looking for three volunteers to join our review committee. The total time commitment is just 1–2 hours and involves reviewing a few documents, like bank statements and the check register, to help us meet the Free State PTA’s guidelines. The committee would meet in July. 

If you can lend a hand, please reach out to us at treasurer@cabinjohnptsa.org. Thanks for being part of what makes our PTSA strong!
