Throughout the school year, you may see fundraising materials come home in your child’s backpack or have a student knock on your door asking for support. A common question is: What are they raising money for?
At Hemmingford Elementary School, the Parent Participation Organization (PPO) is an active and vibrant group who works hard to raise funds that directly benefit our students and enrich their school experience. Funds raised may be used to support:
As needs and opportunities arise, funds may also be used to support other initiatives that positively impact our students and school community.
Most importantly, fundraising helps us provide these valuable experiences while keeping costs low for families. By offsetting expenses, the PPO allows many activities to be offered free of charge or at a reduced cost, helping ensure that all students can participate and benefit, regardless of financial circumstances.
Every fundraising effort, big or small, contributes to creating memorable learning experiences and a stronger school community. Thank you for supporting our students and helping make these opportunities possible.
Together, we’re investing in experiences that help our students learn, grow, and thrive.
