Invest in Our Students

We are a community of dedicated parents, teachers, staff, and volunteers working together to enrich every student's educational experience. Through fundraising, family events, volunteer programs, and school-wide initiatives, we help create opportunities that inspire learning, build lasting memories, and strengthen our school community. We're glad you're here and invite you to be part of everything that makes Malcom such a special place.

The Impact of Your Support

Our amazing PTA is dedicated to making our school a fantastic place for our students, teachers, and families. Here’s just a glimpse of what we make happen!

Book Fairs: We organize the entire event — ordering books, setting up booths, and helping our kiddos learn about managing money while they shop for their favorite reads.

Class Trips: While teachers choose the destinations, the PTA covers the cost of the trip and transportation. From off-campus adventures like the zoo, whale watching, and the Heritage House, on-campus experiences like Walk Through California and Walk Through the Revolution, the Gold Rush and special assemblies, we ensure memorable learning experiences for all.

Yearbook: The PTA handles it all — designing, creating, and distributing this cherished keepsake.

5th Grade Tiles: Those fabulous tiles displayed around our school? The PTA helps 5th graders design them, handles the firing and glazing, and pays to have them installed as lasting memories.

Onsite Events: From Welcome Back celebrations to Trunk or Treat, Jog-a-thon, and our beloved Carnival, the PTA funds, organizes, and staffs the incredible events that bring our school community together.

Teacher & Staff Support: We provide funds to help teachers purchase classroom supplies, PBIS prizes, nursing supplies, and other essentials that aren’t covered by district budgets.

School Safety & Beautification: We’ve upgraded the library, designed and painted the beautiful MPR murals, added security fencing, and repaired the handball courts — creating a safer and more inviting school environment.

Binders & Folders: We provide the blue folders that go home each Thursday, plus reminder binders for 4th and 5th graders to build organization skills and prepare for middle school.

School Spirit: Our PTA selects, orders, and distributes all of the fun spirit wear that unites our school community.

Watch D.O.G.S.: We proudly run the Dads of Great Students program, promoting positive male role models and showing students that education matters.

Reading Support: We fund the Accelerated Reader (AR) program for all students, helping foster a love of reading through engagement, choice, and achievement.

Supporting the Arts: In recent years, we’ve organized and funded Meet the Masters and purchased much-needed supplies for our music program.

And that’s not all! The PTA also:
Provides recess equipment
Organizes after-school food trucks and restaurant nights
Shows appreciation to our incredible teachers and staff throughout the year
Continually looks for ways to make school a fun, engaging, and memorable experience for every student

Your support makes all this possible. Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply cheer us on — YOU are helping us build a stronger, happier school community. Thank you!
