Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who could make it out to Movie Night and especially to all the volunteers who offered their time to come help make the evening so special. You are all so appreciated!

PTA General Meeting

We invite you to attend the first PTA General Meeting of the 2019-20 school year on Wednesday, August 7 at 5:30pm in the school library. We will discuss the programs and activities planned for the year, review the proposed budget, fundraising goals, and form a committee for the upcoming Father Daughter Dance. If you’d like to help with organizing the Father Daughter Dance, please plan to attend this meeting. This will be one of only three general PTA meetings scheduled this school year, so your engagement at this time is very much appreciated! We sure hope you can join us. Questions? Please email pta@huskiespta.com.  

 

PTA Membership Drive 

The Hedenkamp PTA Membership Drive is in full swing! The upper and lower grade classrooms with the highest total new memberships through August 9th will each receive a pizza party and Scholastic prize. Did you know that PTA memberships expire each year and that students can also become members? Please join Hedenkamp PTA or renew your membership to enjoy special perks for PTA members! Thank you for your contribution!

Hedenkamp Elementary PTA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. There are no refunds. 

Paper Donation Drive

We need your help to support our school, one ream at a time! Hedenkamp PTA is collecting donations of full reams of copy paper to benefit the school and your donations are needed! Please send your paper donation to your child’s teacher by August 29. The upper and lower grade classrooms collecting the most paper will be rewarded with a pizza party. For more info, please view the Hedenkamp Paper Drive flyer. Thank you for your help!

BOGO Book Fair

One of our favorite events of the year, the “Buy One Get One” Free Annual Book Fair is upon us! It will take place from March 11th to the 15th. There are many ways for your student to get involved including a coloring contest and donating to All For Books. We want to keep kids interested, engaged, and READING!

Watch out for information about a new program called E-wallet that eliminates the need for cash. This year, teacher’s will have an opportunity to create classroom wish lists which is a great way to support your child’s classroom. Our school gets back 55% of each purchase, and we use the proceeds to help provide supplies for the kids.

As you know, we cannot do these events without the help and support of parents and grandparents like you! Please take a moment to review our volunteer sign up. We make it as fun, and painless as possible! There are also opportunities for high school students to earn community service hours.
