The mission of the HTeX PA is to promote a strong sense of community by involving families in their children’s education and school experience by sharing information and facilitating communication and partnership between school and families, and to support enrichment programs through fundraising and organizing events.
Your generous donations support the following programs and initiatives:
- Exploratory Supplies (Science, Art, Active Education)
- Dollars for Explorers (grants to HTeX teachers to enhance project-based learning)
- Afterschool Enrichment Clubs (chess, science, crafts, ukulele, cards, lego, business)
- School-Wide Community Assemblies
- Teacher Appreciation Activities
- Community Herb Garden
- Community Clean-up and Beautification
- Pancake Breakfast
- Fall Festival
- Field Day
- K/5th-Grade Promotion
In order to make these programs and events happen, we need to raise about $36k for the school year. This works out to about $100 per student. Since not everyone will be able to donate this amount, if you are in a position to donate more, please do so! There are multiple ways to donate, hopefully one or more of these works for you. For more information or any questions, please email: htexpapresident@gmail.com
