Why Fundraise?
Why Fundraise?
PiE is here to support our community of learners. When we as a community support our school, and teachers have the resources they need to do their best work possible – everybody wins. One of the ways PiE does this is by raising money to put directly back into our school.
What's Raised Here Stays Here

PiE does not share it's fundraising with other schools in the consolidated district. What is raised at HCS, stays at HCS.
What's Done With The Money?
What's Done With The Money?
By far, the greatest expenditure of money raised goes directly to supporting classroom teachers. The spending is discretionary, but mostly the teachers use the funding for field trips and classroom supplies.
Fundraising dollars are also put toward the Grant Program, Staff Appreciation, and supporting HCS families

Overview of the Program
Overview of the Program
Each year, PiE designates a portion of its budget to qualified grant applicants from within the school community. These grants are intended as a way for HCS teachers to gain funding for special classroom projects or needs, using a simple application form and quick decision process. PiE has granted over $20,000 since 2012 when the program first started, with a dedicated committee of volunteers working with the Co-Principals to review and assess the applications and make the final decisions on an annual basis.

Pictured below is a picture of one of our 20/21 Grant Recipients. Tom Darling and the 8th Grade team were able to purchase a high-end screen press and materials to create tshirts, with a logo they designed, for the entire 8th grade to help build a sense of community.
