Summer 2020 Edition
HP Arts is a Non-Profit Organization Supporting HPISD Arts Education Since 1987 
Support HP Arts during Back-to-School Sign-Up
HP Arts needs your support to make it another exceptional year! 
 
Back-to-School Sign-Up (BSSU) for HPISD is July 30th - August 8th and is the perfect time to show your continued support for our mission.  2020-2021 is sure to prove challenging for fine arts and arts enrichment.  It is through your donations that we at HP Arts can be successful in enhancing arts education within HPISD.  Since 1987, HP Arts has distributed over $1.3 million directly to HPISD programs.  Those funds come from district families, community members, and our cornerstone benefactor, La Fiesta de las Seis Banderas. 
 
HP Arts funding touches all students in HPISD.  During the 2019-2020 school year, HP Arts funded $50,000 in response to teacher requests for arts programming, technology, equipment, instruments, and more.  A few highlights include HPMS pottery wheels, Djembe drums at Armstrong Elementary, a HPHS debate team consultant, and Latin dance instruction for 6th Grade Social Studies classes.

Please consider including HP Arts in your BSSU contributions.  Thank you for your continued support!
"Take A Seat" at HPHS
 
Come "Take A Seat" at the HPHS Palmer Auditorium!  Your $500 donation during BSSU will honor your child, family member, a favorite teacher, or HPISD organization with an elegantly engraved brass plaque prominently displayed on the arm of an auditorium chair. Funds raised are used for ongoing improvements in the HPHS auditorium areas.


This past spring, Take A Seat funds were used for the new, state-of-the-art sound system recently installed in the Palmer Auditorium. 

If you have questions regarding the Take A Seat program, please contact communityoutreach@hparts.org.
