One Event. A Year of Impact.
The Main Event is Stone Mountain Elementary PTO's one and only fundraiser each year.
Our goal is for each family to contribute $250 per student each year through The Main Event on Friday, October 2, at the Wide Open Saloon. Whether you attend, bid on auction items, contribute to your class basket, or make a donation, every dollar helps bridge the gap between school funding and the resources that help every student learn, grow, and thrive.
Local businesses are an important part of the Stone Mountain community. Your sponsorship or auction donation shows families that you're invested not only in our school, but in the future of the children who learn here.

Saddle up for SME
Last year, our PTO needed to raise more than $100,000, not for extras, but for essentials. While these funds don't pay teacher salaries,
they do provide the resources that help teachers teach effectively and students thrive.
For our youngest learners, that includes something as simple—but essential—as copying and printing.
Young children learn by doing: coloring, cutting, building, tracing letters, and writing by hand. These hands-on experiences strengthen fine motor skills, reinforce classroom lessons, and lay the foundation for future learning in ways digital screens simply can't replace.
As students grow, their needs evolve. That's why each year our PTO provides additional funding to personalized, computer-based lessons in reading and math that adapts to each student's learning level.
By identifying skill gaps, offering appropriately challenging lessons, and tracking progress, the i-Ready instructional seats help students build confidence while staying on pace with grade-level standards. Together, these investments ensure our students have the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed from kindergarten through fifth grade.
