Here you can find our immediate volunteer needs and opportunities.

Also, see if you are interested in our ongoing volunteer opportunities here. If every parent would volunteer for 3 hours per year, all of our volunteer needs would be met.

Don't forget an easy way to contribute is to participate in rebate programs and retail incentives that help save money for Highland Creek Elementary.

If you are interested in any helping the PTA, please provide us with your information by 1) printing and filling out the Volunteer Sign Up form and return it to your child's teacher, or 2) register online here using the HCE PTA Manager. Here are step-by-step instructions for first time users of the PTA Manager.

Calling all Friends And Neighbors (FANs) of Highland Creek Elementary School . . .

To better serve our students, Highland Creek Elementary School, in conjunction with the PTA, is pleased to announce the formation of an exclusive Club designed to treat ALL volunteers as important members of our school “family” — and you DO NOT have to have children attending our school in order to join! Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and friends etc. are all welcome.

Do you know someone who has some time to help read with a student or even have lunch with a child? If so, please contact Louise Carte, FAN Club Coordinator Email: fan@hcepta.org or phone HCE, 980-343-1065 for more information.

Helping Your Classrooms

As our budget continues to be cut, fewer and fewer supplies are being supplied by the school system and state. As a school our teachers are having to spend more and more personal funds to provide learning materials for students.

Our teachers at Highland Creek are starting to use a website called DonorsChoose.org to collect resources to benefit our children in the classroom. If you go to this website and type Highland Creek into the search engine you will see all of the projects that teachers from our school would like to have funded. If you would like to help the teachers of Highland Creek out go ahead and donate. If you are not in the financial position to do this right now it would be great if you could forward this out to someone you know might be interested in helping us out.

We would really like to bring these classroom projects to life. So check it out and see what you think! All DonorsChoose.org projects are submitted by public school teachers who seek resources essential to their student’s success. Donors can choose from thousands of classroom projects, and then hear back from the classroom they chose to help.
