Donate to Harvest Park PTSA!

As 2023 draws to a close, many of you are thinking about making financial contributions to community causes to spread the holiday cheer. The Harvest Park PTSA is one of the most efficient organizations in the community which helps your students and their community thrive. In the past year, we have enabled several important projects around the school and in the classroom. We hope that you will make a contribution to the Harvest Park PTSA this holiday season . All contributions are tax deductible.

You can even double your contribution if your company matches donations to non-profit organizations.

PPIE Updates

With the success of PUSD high school wellness centers and the programming they offer, a large need is seen to expand to our middle schools, so that all of our secondary students are having their socio-emotional needs met. In our district, the Wellness Centers are a quiet, safe place where students can go to self-regulate, decompress, de-stress, have a mindful moment, and/or practice evidence-based self-care strategies. To learn more about wellness programming in PUSD, please click here.

At PUSD, PPIE currently supports:

A district Wellness Website with a wealth of information and resources for parents, students and staff
Established Wellness Centers at both high schools (Amador and Foothill).
A full time classified Wellness Center Support Specialist (WCSS) at both comprehensive high schools
Certificated Support Counselors at both comprehensive high schools

During this giving season, please consider a year-end gift to help us reach our goal of $75,000 to expand our wellness support programming to reach more students, who need it now more than ever. Please visit ppie.org/donate to make your tax deductible donation.
