Saint Paul Music Academy PTO

Saint Paul Music Academy (SPMA) is a vibrant, diverse public music magnet school serving approximately 480 PreK–5 students in Saint Paul’s North End neighborhood. Our unique school community represents over 35 cultural backgrounds and 20 languages, with more than 50% of students identified as Multilingual Learners and approximately 85% coming from low-income households. 

Through the universal language of music, SPMA brings students together through choir, band, orchestra, drums and general music, creating opportunities for every child to discover their talents, build confidence and belong.

The SPMA Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) works to ensure every student has access to meaningful educational and enrichment opportunities, regardless of their family's financial circumstances. As Saint Paul Public Schools faces significant budget cuts, our PTO helps bridge funding gaps by supporting teachers, classrooms and academic departments, providing educational resources, student enrichment, teacher appreciation and school community events.

Your donations make a direct and important impact. Recent PTO-supported projects include SPMA Community Concert and Fine Arts Night, teacher and staff appreciation potlucks, coats and socks donation drives, adaptive educational tools, classroom books and learning software, and instrumental music repairs and supplies. With your support, we can continue to work toward academic excellence and student achievement. 

Every contribution helps strengthen our classrooms, support our educators, connect our families and expand opportunities for the students we serve. PLEASE GIVE TO THE MAX & SUPPORT THE SPMA PTO! Together, we can ensure that limited resources never limit a child's potential and that every SPMA student has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
