Current Events

"Taste of Metro" Social February 21

The PTSA and Student Council are working to bring back Taste of Metro, a gathering of families to experience the many cultures in our school through sharing traditional dishes.

Taste of Metro: Dessert Edition is scheduled for Tuesday, February 21 from 6:00-7:30pm. Families attending are asked to bring a dessert to share that represents their culture or country or origin.

Due to restrictions during the pandemic, Taste of Metro has been cancelled in recent years. The PTSA is excited to reintroduce this social event to celebrate our school's diversity.

Please check the weekly school updates for more details!

2022 Football Fundraiser Update

Thank you to all parents, students and staff who helped during our annual PTSA fundraiser. A special thanks to the Rake and Stevens' families who helped park cars at several games.

As a community, volunteers have raised funds that have already supported the purchase of water bottles for students and staff, a welcome back luncheon for teachers, astronomy club, fall fest parties, debate team, ski club, seniors, Metrobots, and the Bodies Pathway Exhibition. We expect to support many more student activities as a result of the time and dedication of football parking crew!

Again, our thanks to our outstanding volunteers!

Volunteer Opportunities

There are many opportunities for volunteering in the Metro Community.  When you fill out the membership survey, you will have the opportunity to share your volunteer interests.

OSU Football Fundraiser

PTSA's biggest fundraiser of the year is selling parking on our lot for Ohio State home football games. There are two ways you can help:

• Sign up to help: Click to Volunteer to Help with Football Parking. Parent and student volunteers are wanted for each home game, so you are welcome to sign up as a family. If your children belong to clubs that want to request funds from the PTSA, encourage them to volunteer as a group with other club members.

• Tell your friends to park at Metro: If you know Buckeye fans attending a home game, encourage them to park at Metro. It's a short walk to the stadium.
