Community Impact: What Your Donations Have Done So Far

/

With Thanksgiving upon us, we'd like to take a moment to share how thankful we are for your generous support of the PTO and of the HPS Community. We're only 3 months into the school year and because of your donations and memberships, we've already been able to provide:

  • breakfast for students in need at all 4 schools

  • Puzzles and kinetic sand for a destressing zone in the RAMS library

  • Birdseed to attract birds for observation for Ms. DeLuca's 7th grade science class

  • Paper cutters and laminators for teachers to create reusable materials for their classrooms

  • Mosaic Puzzle Posters to build community at RAMS

  • Sketchbooks for art classes

  • Fidgets and stickers for classroom prize boxes

  • Timers and clocks to build student executive function skills

  • Wireless presentation remotes to enable teachers to move around classrooms during lessons, better utilizing proximity as a behavior management technique

  • Flexible seating, including yoga mats, pillows, wobble stools, and Montessori-aligned desks, for multiple classrooms

  •  Classroom scientific calculators, scissors, pencils, and other school supplies to increase equity across all 4 schools

  • Breakfast for faculty and staff on professional development days

  • Emergency clothing for students in need

  • Pumpkins for the elementary pumpkin stroll

This is not an exhaustive list, but provides a sense of what your donations can accomplish. Please join us for a PTO meeting if you’d like a better sense of the budget and program funding.
