Why Join?

Our PTSA strives towards the National PTA’s goal to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. We advocate for decisions that impact your child’s educational experience, and strive to build a stronger, more inclusive school community.

We invite you to join Cabin John Middle School’s PTSA because increasing our membership, even by one, makes it possible to:

  • Provide programming and events to celebrate the many cultures at CJMS, such as International Night.
  • Sponsor Teacher Appreciation events throughout the year to demonstrate our gratitude for our teachers and administrators.
  • Sponsor support for a greenhouse to support our Science program.
  • Provide vital enrichment activities by supporting after-school programs like:
    • Book Wars

    • Odyssey of the Mind
    • Scripps Spelling Bee
