What is the PTA Mum Store?

The PTA Mum Store is the primary fundraiser for the JJ Pearce PTA. All funds raised directly benefit the JJ Pearce student community.

This fundraiser is run entirely by PTA volunteers, along with the incredible parents who design and sell the mums and garters. We would love your support!

The Pearce PTA also shares a portion of its profits with JJP student organizations that provide volunteers. Thanks to these partnerships, the PTA has distributed thousands of dollars to Pearce teams and organizations in recognition of their time and support.

F.A.Q.

Does my child have to have a date to have a mum/garter?

  • Absolutely not!

    We want everyone to feel included in Homecoming. Students are encouraged to wear a mum or garter whether or not they have a date. You do not need a date to the Homecoming dance to order or wear one. 

    Parents can purchase mums or garters for their children, and friends can buy them for friends. There is no strict rule or required protocol.

    If a couple is attending the dance together, it is common for:

    • The boy to purchase a mum for the girl.
    • The girl to purchase a garter for the boy.

    Prices vary depending on the decorations and custom options selected.

    Why do we buy mums and garters? 

  • Homecoming is a big deal in Texas and at JJ Pearce.  It is a celebration of school pride, football, long-standing traditions, and community involvement.  

    • Girls wear mums to school on the Friday of Homecoming week.
    • Boys wear garters on their arms.
