From harper2030 at mailman.dcn.org Sun Aug 17 08:17:33 2025 From: harper2030 at mailman.dcn.org (Harper 2030) Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2025 08:17:33 -0700 Subject: Welcome from the Harper PTO Message-ID: Welcome to another school year, Harper Families! Whether you are new to Harper or are a returning family, we welcome you to the 2025 ? 2026 school year. The Harper PTO is looking forward to another year of supporting our students, teachers and staff, and we hope you will join us. Though our students are now in middle school and the teachers no longer need us to volunteer in their classrooms, they do still need financial support. That is where the PTO steps in (and parents like you) to fill in the gaps to provide much needed materials that are NOT provided by State funds or our school district. This year, the Harper PTO has a budget of $20,000 to help fill these gaps. To help us reach our goal, we our kicking-off the year with the HarPER Kid Donation Drive. The suggested "PER kid" donation amount is $150; however, we gratefully welcome all contributions. Until we raise funds, we will not be able to award our teachers and staff any grant requests or be able to fulfill our budgeted obligations. Some of the activities, programs, and items we have funded in the last two years include: Art supplies Library books and supplies Books for English and Spanish classes Student garden upgrades Science Dept supplies Special Education supplies Upgraded PE equipment Field trips A new dryer for Food Science The Harper PTO also supports special year-end activities including Freshmen Celebration, Day on the Green, and Freshmen Breakfast, as well as Teacher Appreciation Week, and teacher luncheons throughout the year. With the help of you and your generous donations, we are looking to do even more great work this year! Please consider donating any amount you can. You can join the PTO for only $20 (no participation required) and make a donation via our website: www.harperjrhighpto.com ?Join the PTO.? At our monthly PTO meetings you can join the conversation and learn more about the PTO and our school. Meetings include monthly reports from our Principal, Katie Sluis, various other staff members, and board members. Our meetings will be held primarily via Zoom on the second Thursday of every month (with a few exceptions). Please mark your calendar for the 1st PTO meeting of the school year!
