Give to HRMS PTSO! Help us support school, teacher, and student needs!
Parking can be hectic at Open House, so skip the stress of driving around the lot or walking a mile to get to the front door. Wouldn't it be nice to get your very own dedicated parking space at the front of the school?
There are 3 reserved parking spaces for auction. The HIGHEST bidder of each available slot will be parking in the Harris Road PTSO Prize Winner space at the front of the school.
The winners will be donating their highest bid directly to the PTSO's Invest in Your Child (IIYC) fundraiser. Funds from IIYC support our staff and students throughout the school year with additional supplies, supplemental learning materials, substitute teachers for continuing education, student events, etc.
V.I.P Reserved Parking Auction is open today, Friday, July 31, to Wednesday, August 5, at 5:00pm.
Winners will be notified on Wednesday, August 5, via email from Zeffy, followed by a phone call from the PTSO, to discuss parking logistics.

Invest In Your Child (IIYC) is the main fundraising channel for the Harris Road Middle School PTSO. We are hosting events, such as the Student-Teacher Dodgeball Game and Pajama Day, as well Open House VIP Parking Auction, Fast-Pass After School Parking Auction, Raffle Contests, and more. These fundraising activities give parents and students something in return for their donations. IIYC also accepts donations directly from parents or corporate matching and greatly appreciates every dollar donated.
100% of the money raised through IIYC benefits HRMS! HRMS sets high educational standards for our children. In order to ensure these goals are met, the PTSO works closely with the principal and teachers to use IIYC funds to bridge the gap between the needs of our school and what is provided by the district. We'd appreciate anything you can give!
Here are just some of the ways IIYC funds have been used in the past:
Teacher Appreciation & Training
Student Agendas & Awards Ceremonies
Picnic tables for the outside courtyard
Bottle filling stations to replace traditional water fountains
School Beautification
Computers & Calculators
Musical Instruments & Stands
New Video & Audio Equipment
PE Equipment Upgrades
TA for the Band Classroom
Media Center Books
Racks for Folding Chairs
Anti-Bullying Campaign
Teacher Reimbursements
Gym repainted
This year, the school has some specific needs for our $10K goal. The PTSO would like to:
Replace classroom SmartBoards with TVs
Support school beautification projects
Continue to support incentive programs for students
