Message from the PTSA President


Patriot Families,


We hope you all had a relaxing summer break and a great start to the school year! 


2023-2024 HP PTSA Board, comprised of parent-volunteers, is dedicated to making this a successful year for all our students, teachers, and staff. As we embark on this new academic year, our shared commitment to our student’s education drives us forward.


On behalf of the HP PTSA, I’d like to express our deep gratitude for your continued support and generous donations that enable us to provide many programs and fun events to our students. HP PTSA Board is working closely with Mr. Campisi and the school administration to address the students’, teachers’, and the school’s needs. We will be meeting regularly to discuss ways we can support Harvest Park students and teachers, and do what we can to enhance your child's educational experience. We are looking forward to bringing more opportunities for parents to engage and volunteer at school.


We will do our best to keep our community updated with the latest information via our Newsletter. And I encourage you to get involved, share your ideas, and collaborate with us to create a safe and enriching environment for our students. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their educational journey.


  • Please attend General Association meetings. These meetings are a great way to be informed on what HP PTSA is working on and how your generous donations are being used to positively impact our students, as well as the focus areas and needs our school has for this year. Meetings are planned to be held remotely, please be on the lookout for the announcements.


  • Please encourage other parents to join the HP PTSA by visiting Harvest Park’s FutureFund site https://hp.futurefund.com/ and learn more about the needs at Harvest Park. Your donations to the HP PTSA enable us to continue supporting our students, teachers, and school programs.


  • Corporate matching is another opportunity to increase donations being used directly to support and bring more programs to Harvest Park.


Thank you for your unwavering support. Let's make this year a memorable and successful one for our students. Here's to a fantastic year ahead!


Best,

Mia Maksumova
