PRESIDENT'S NEWS...

The year 2009 was a busy but successful year for our PTA. Our new fundraiser, “Boosterthon Fun Run”, was outstanding. Not only did it focus on the values of character development and physical fitness but it allowed us the ability to raise more funds than ever before. We are extremely pleased to announce that with the funds raised, the HCE PTA will be able to purchase or donate the following:

  • (3) SMART Boards™ for the school (which makes a total of 5).
  • “Imagine It! eSuite” (a standards-based, fully integrated technology reading program for today’s elementary reading classes) for the entire school. Note—this was a program that was previously supported by CMS but was eliminated due to budget constraints.
  • $1,000 to each Specials Area (PE, Art, Music and Technology).
  • $3,000 to Media.
  • $500 for each grade level.

The HCE PTA is very grateful for the continued support of parents and the community for Highland Creek Elementary School. We are striving to ensure that HCE is where children can experience success.

Please email us at president@hcepta.org for any comments or concerns.
