The portsmouth gridiron football club is a fundraising arm for our high-school football team. Our purpose is to supplement what is not in the school's budget. We help buy the team the necessary equipment that the school does not cover. We have 80 players this year that we help with curbing costs of away game meals, team dinners, varsity jackets, etc. We update the community via social media about our games, players, standings, and fundraisers. This year we have purchased a new 5-man sled, 1-man sled, jugs machine, new practice pants, and even some pads and helmets.there are 16 members on the board who volunteer approximately 320 hours per year.
The melville parent teach group (mptg) is comprised of parent and teacher volunteers who provide the necessary support, financial or otherwise, for the enrichment of the children's education and to establish the lines of communication between the school's teachers, administrators and parents. The organization serves approximately 300 students and their families. Major fundraising events include the fall festival, fun run, whale of an evening, and a scholastic book fair. Those fundraisers double as community-building events along with others such as our back-to-school beach night, holiday craft night, and a newport polo match. The money raised throughout the year is used for afterschool enrichment opportunities, steam activities, school improvements, classroom supplies, teacher and staff appreciation, field trips, and school-wide end-of-the-year activities, to name a few.during fy24, the mptg had approximately 75 volunteers contribute over 570 hours of time to the school community.
