Double your Donation with Corporate Match

Many companies match your donations to Harvest Park PTSA. If your company matches donations to Harvest Park PTSA, kindly apply for it right away.

If you are not sure if your company matches donations to non-profits, please reach out to your company’s HR department to find out.

Email us with questions and we may be able to help to double your donations to Harvest Park PTSA if your company already has a corporate matching policy in place.

Volunteering at Harvest Park

All volunteers require clearance from PUSD. Kindly review the PUSD Volunteer handbook and apply to be a volunteer for the 2023-2024 school year by using the PUSD Raptor Application Link.

Ice Cream Social & Dance

Great job - Leadership Class at Harvest Park

A week into the school year, Leadership Class at Harvest Park organized two major back to school events on the same day. Last Friday, an ice cream social was held for the sixth graders and a back to school dance was staged for the seventh and eight graders. PTSA congratulates everyone involved in pulling off two major events so early in the school year. Thank you to all students, teachers, staff and parents involved!
