Hello HPS Families & Friends,
We’re kicking off February with our first-ever Raise Craze fundraiser. We are so grateful to share that less than a week into the fundraiser, our students have already raised $29,000 through their acts of kindness to support the PTO! These donations will directly fund PTO programs for the next school year - click here to see where the funds go and consider coming to the PTO Townwide Meeting on February 10th to discuss upcoming events and budget changes for the next school year.
As always, please reach out with any questions or to get involved!
Your Holliston PTO Board,
Barbara, Beth, Stacey, Evie, Michele, May & Sarah
