What do PTA Fundraisers pay for?

  • PTA supports programming, technology enhancements, classroom support, school events, school and classroom parties, field trip supplements, teacher and staff recognition, school beautification, and much more.

Why are there so many fundraisers?

  • In past years our main HPE PTA fundraiser is the Husky Hustle in the fall.

  • For the 2021-2022 school year we will be organizing a virtual Husky Hustle in October!

  • Other worthy school fundraisers such as Major Saver Cards and Culver’s Night are NOT PTA fundraisers.

  • The price of admission to other PTA events such as the carnival, skating night, pancake for parents are primarily to cover the cost of the event, not raise money.

Is my donation tax deductible?

  • Yes. Highland Park Elementary PTA is a 501(c)(3).

Are there other ways to contribute besides money?
