THE IMPORTANCE OF FUNDRAISING...

Fundraising goes far beyond students’ basic academic necessities such as classroom materials, updated technology, and clean, safe school facilities. Education encompasses what goes on outside the classroom as well, such as through extracurricular enrichment programs in the arts, STEAM fields, and more. School fundraising helps bring these opportunities to our students and fosters more a well-rounded education for all.

Research shows that students do better when schools and communities communicate and work together in partnership. Also, when schools and community members come together to support young people’s education through fundraising, the entire community benefits. When school staff, parents, and community members can spend time together, they learn more about each other’s needs and create further opportunities to improve the school both inside and out.

The funds raised by the Harley Avenue PTA go directly toward enriching students’ education through things like STEAM programs, field trips, technology and equipment, cultural arts assemblies, seasonal school activities and events, and so much more. 

Thank you all in advance for your support! We look forward to working with all of you in one way or another to help Harley Avenue be the very best it can be!
