As the HSA ramps up its fundraising campaign, we want to make sure you know how those dollars directly impact your children’s education and enrichment. The priorities for these funds are set through a coordinated effort of the HSA and the school each year, looking at both the school’s needs and parent input, including the annual survey. For a more detailed breakdown, see the chart and explanation below. Your dollars are critical! Only 1/4 of parents have donated to the HSA. Please give today!
Instructional support: Includes the Peace Program, the choir teachers, the drumline/band teacher, and recess programs.
Classroom supplies: Includes $425 per classroom teacher to be used at the teacher’s discretion to buy needed supplies- from posters to classroom manipulatives. It also includes funds for art supplies, funds for specials and special education classroom supplies (including counselors, PE, music etc.)
