Clayton PTA Fall Fundraiser 2026-27

Clayton Middle School PTA is excited to announce our Annual Fundraiser, running October 1st through the 12th.

This beloved event brings together students, families, local businesses, and our community to celebrate while raising essential funds for the programs that make Clayton Middle School such a special place for students.

Clayton serves 640 students from both the east and west sides of Salt Lake City and is proud to be recognized as the top-performing middle school in our district, earning this distinction more often than any other middle school. Our students and staff work hard to maintain this tradition of excellence, but providing meaningful opportunities beyond the classroom takes resources, and fundraising support is more important than ever.

 Our goal this year is to raise $35,000 to help support programs and activities including:

• Our annual school musical, which has a long, rich history and provides a place for students throughout the school to belong and shine;

• Field trips that extend classroom learning into real-world experiences;

• Teacher and staff appreciation;

• Student government activities and leadership opportunities;

• Career Day and other enrichment activities;

• Student awards and recognition; and

• Holiday support baskets for our own Clayton families

 To put the impact of our fundraising into perspective:

• $150 can provide an instrument repair for our music students.

• $200 can provide glaze for 30 students in Ceramics class.

• $300 can provide uniform tops for the Spirit Team.

• $500 can provide dance costumes for 30 students, along with video recording and editing for the semester performance.

• $750 can provide bussing for one field trip.

Thank you for investing in the students of Clayton Middle School and for helping us make this year's fundraiser a success. We are grateful for the local businesses and community members who help our students thrive!
