What’s a Count-Me-In (CMI)?

A CMI is a fun, themed event hosted by Parkside families – think backyard movie nights, crafting workshops, game nights, dinner parties, mini golf tournaments or whatever YOU can dream up! A CMI is the perfect way to share your creativity, build community, and support the Parkside PTA all at once!  Examples of past CMIs.

How does it work?

• You host the event: pick the theme, date, time, location, number of participants, and ticket price
• You cover the cost
• Proceeds from ticket sales go directly to support our school

Submit your CMIs by Friday, October 10, 2025. 

They will be available to purchase on Paybee starting Monday, October 13, 2025. Tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis. 

Let’s come together to make this year’s CMI lineup the best yet!
